Airbus is deeply saddened. Is anybody buying Airbus these days?

If we wait long enough, a few of us could probably chip in a few bucks each and get an A-380 cheap!

I think Airbus has a promising future.

The headline should read, "Air Bust offers massive bribes, subsidies, and kick backs, but Air India buys the better aircraft from Boeing." :)

If mccain gets his way, Airbus will win the AF tanker upgrade program.

At the rate things are going, Airbus is going to find out there ain't much of a market for the A350.

"...estimated cost of Rs 35,000 crore (Rs 350 billion)."
"...after securing a financial discount of about Rs 1,000 crore (Rs 10 billion)."
Boeing gave Air India less than a 3% discount, it appears.
That ain't bad - sell nearly US $12 billion of stuff at almost list price.

God bless Boeing. No wonder the US economy is buzzing. Building all these airplanes affects the economy as a whole.

Actually, i sent a letter to our local congressman about this issue.Our politicians never learn from the history. Supplying our AF with foreign aircraft is one way to embargo in the near future and in my opinion,treason.

Great news for Boeing. And, we get some of our money back from India.
To: QQQQ
It has ben my opinion from the beginning that the decision was made to include Airbus in negotiations to drive down Boeing's price. I think this is a smart business decision . . . as long as they end up buying Boeing.

All the folks that say outsourcing is bad for the U.S economy need to think this through. The investment boom in India has created the cash flow for them to be able to afford aircraft so the money did come back. Indians buy several other U.S. made products in the entertainment, computer hardware and technology industries which support jobs here. This is proof positive that globalization and outsurcing is good for the economy as a whole. Some individuals do get adversely impacted, they just need to adapt to the new growing industries and they too can thrive. Creative destruction has been a major factor in U.S. prosperity and this is great news indeed for the the U.s economy.

Dear Maneesh,
You mean... as several hundred million Indians join the First World middle class, they'll... buy more stuff??
And more stuff will have to be... produced??
Resulting overall in greater production, worldwide, of goods and services??
Who'd a' thunk it?!?
