EADS North America won’t protest Air Force tanker award to Boeing

And if you'll recall, Boeing was punished to the tune of tens of billions of dollars for subsequent rocket launches lost to Lockheed (and they should've been), the entire corporate structure was purged (and they should've been), and people went to jail (which they deserved). It's not like everybody walked with payraises and promotions. Since then, Boeing has done a lot to turn around a deplorable corporate attitude and company that was quickly running itself into being non-competitive and bankrupt.

What has EADS to improve their company? The French govt. is keeping them afloat, that's the very definition of non-accountability.

In case you forgot, and in spite of the glowing press coverage, the A380 has been a disaster from the beginning and is just a showboat that is not showing to be a commercial success, a la Concorde. Do you really want them building our premier tanker for the next 60 years?

Hey, I’m not defending EADS at all.
