Boeing has charged that the arrangement allows Airbus to get state money virtually on demand.

Anyone with a passing interest in Airbus can see clearly their government subsidies.

Don't tell that to the Euros. In their mind it is totally justifiable as they think that the U.S. government illegally subsidies Boeing.

Another HUGE problem is that European government provide pensions. Boeing has about $40B sitting in a trust from which to provide future pensions; I do not believe Airbus has to set aside a penny for this.
