An analyst could probably sort at least some of this out, unless some of the contracts are secret.

Another consideration barely touched on is that Airbus may be outselling Boeing with some of its older models, but Boeing is doing better with models that will be sold in the future.

Finally, Airbus has a political advantage, selling to the countries in its own consortium, countries who don't dare offend the French, and countries who hate or envy the U.S.
