Right, so when do the job cuts begin. What, no job cuts.
Oh, so I guess that means no "launch aid" NOT.
The only thing worse than watching this excuse for an aerospace company try to compete with the free market is being one of the taxpayers who get to fund their great plans.
The planes are technically excellent. And Boeing lives off the US Defence contracts, which is also a form of subsidisation.
I guess I haven't been paying enought attention, what do we (the US) have to do with the aid for Airbus?
Most board meetings come off rain or shine. Contentious agenda items are usually tabled for "further study" while back room deals are struck.
Corporations have to appear united in order to maintain shareholder, customer and employee confidence. At the present time, nobody needs a bigger image boost than Airbus. And nobody is more aware of the need to maintain a proper image than the Europeans.
May I suggest a way to save Airbust? Perhaps the euros could sell all their children to the mussies and donate the money to the socialist state...whatchathink?
