Well, it makes sense. In socialist counties - when you need more money you just raise taxes...so why not just raise prices.

It's difficult to make delivery when your workforce is on annual six week vacations and you can't fire the inept or incompetent, or lazy.........

380 is going to wind up in a museum like the Spruce Goose..... Wrong concept, wrong execution... they'll be begging for bailout just to stay afloat after the fallout from this turd is finished.

The Spruce Goose was built to prove a point and it did. The A380 is supposed to make money, and it won't.............

What the heck is that? Bristol Barbazon?

And y'know what the worst thing is about this price increase? They're not giving you the undercoating for free anymore. But they'll throw in some free "little tree" air fresheners to hang in the cockpit, so you can keep that "new plane smell" longer.

It doesn't matter whether it's an airline company or a widget company.

I'm shocked!

The answer is obvious - give EADS more subsidies. 1/3 of the development costs of Airbus products floated by the consortium member states is obviously not enough.
