Airbus really needs to let this go. Talk about sour grapes!

AI reacting to losing this bid is a clear illustration of how the entitlement culture of most of Europe has permeated every aspect of their being. It is the very reason the French rejected the EU Constitution. They can't, and don't want to, compete in the free market (or they don't want others to use the same dirty tricks they use to rig the freemarket). They want things as a matter of entitlement. Hence you have Air Bus saying, "you can't select Boeing over us, WE ARE ENTITLED TO WIN YOUR BID!!!"

Written by Airbus senior vice president Kiran Rao to A-I, the letter seeks to explain the reasons for the multinational company’s anguish over repeated rejection by the airline.

So this guy shows up at the wedding with a letter for the bride seeking to explain the reason for his anguish over her repeated rejection of his request for her hand in marriage ...

chose to buy the 18 planes with an all-economy configuration.

This configuration has more room for riding on top.

Airbus has said that selection of aircraft should be done on a typical low-cost configuration

Unbelievable arrogance. You're right, they really need to let this go!

if you don't buy this airplane--- we will never sell you any more airplanes, ever, not in a million years, not if you begged us, not if you were the only airline left on earth, screw you guys... i'm going home!!!

The French are baaaaaaaack. They're are going to nag you to death if you don't buy their fighters.

On another front...The US is re-starting a WTO case against Airbus over subsidies. That hurts.
