I have had my doubts about this plane for awhile.
Anyone know if it passed the safety test on getting all passengers out within a short space of seconds as mandated?
I think this thing is the big time bomb waiting to go off.
If this thing crashes within the first months of flying it could chill sales and cause a real crisis within Airbus itself.

Just damn!

Terrible news!

Drop the wimpy French short work week and they still can't deliver.

I'll bet after 6 months, it's delayed again.

Even the name of the enterprise sucks -- who wants to fly on an airbus? Of course, the onomatopoeia of 'Boing' (silent e) isn't too encouraging, either.

Didn't the French build some boats for a country then renig on the delivery??! Sounds like another SCAM by the Slick Willie French!!

Boing built a huge factory in the uS to build the 747! Why are they now sending these jobs overseas just to bring the BIG CHUNKS back for assembly?? The New World Socialist Order!!!

Yes these production sounds like the Great Russian production lines that failed miserably. What a great plan!!
Let's do what has failed over and over again so we can be an Economical Balance to the Great Enemey The US!!!

Their Stupid!!!
