On the contrary, I always read about the Boeing v. Airbus battles... Its beats reality television!
I just havent seen any Airbust koolaid drinkers out there...
To: SW6906 Thanks, I am an airline junkie and I am constantly amazed at the abuse Airbus takes by people that don't know otherwise.
Boeings are made up of all kinds of foreign parts and there are lots of American built parts on the airbus.
Its OK for us to drive German cars with lots of French parts, but not for us to fly on an Airbus because of the European parts.
Rolls Royce makes the best, most dependable airline engines around, they are amazing and they are on lots of Boeing planes, but nobody rips on them.

Freepers from Europe and Britain would be good bets.
Also, I remember from another aviation discussion board a bona-fide American conservative (an air force veteran no less) who was one of the most hardcore Airbus fans I have ever encountered. He was so lockstepped with Airbus policies that his posts on aviation industry were like "Airbus, right or wrong". Haven't seen him around for ages - not since 9/11 so I don't know what happened to him. Perhaps he is a Freeper now? ;-)
