FACT: Airbus also underpriced their birds in order to outsell Boeing five years in a row because Airbus' "investors", i.e. several European countries, already had next year's Airbus' life support check in the mail.
"As of right now, Boeing leads Airbus for 2005, and it will take a clean sweep by Airbus of the three remaining contracts before year end if Airbus is to surpass Boeing this year."
Well if the business that was done at this year's Dubai Air Show was any indication of who will outsell whom for the remainder of this year, I wouldn't worry too much about Airbus' hitting the trifecta.
"Aitbus has been more than just a competitor.You lack facts on this issue."
True. Airbus Has been more than just a competitor.
It has been a joke based on a euro-marxist business model that now has to raise the prices of its birds in order to actually start making some money, and not simply doing what they do for cost.
So who the hell needs facts when he is certain that Airbus' four years of having outsold Boeing were hollow victories, since the fact was that the ghost of ol' Karl was gonna leap up and bite em' square on the ass sooner or later anyhow?
I hate the centralized, Marxist underpinning of Airbus just as much as you do. I just pointed out that you were factually incorrect since Airbus beat Boeing five years in a row, regardless of whether the competition was fair or not.
