leaders of France, Britain, Germany and Spain hailed Europe's victory over the United States as the new king of the commercial skies.

Victory? They've eclipsed an aircraft introduced in 1970.

I'm impressed!! How are they doing with *inside toilets* in Europe now? Maybe they'll just hold it and go in the plane.

Plane too big. Need many people to fill every flight to make it affordable. Looks like big giant bomb, waiting to fly into big building. Big Plane, big tank, big boom! I think this is a "boom-doggle".

That's me thoughts and I'm stickin' to'em.

And thats part of the problem. Boeing hasn't made a sufficient improvement on the 747 in all that time.

Now, Airbus has been a pretty consistent money-loser since it was founded, unlike Boeing.

What eclipse? Promises, promises. Safety record yet to come? - Fly Errorbus and die?
