Airbus was looking good while living fat on Euro govt. subsidies and Boeing was battling corporate scandals, leadership problems, and corruption. When Boeing cleaned their own house and stepped up to the problems, they quickly passed Airbus. Boeing is delivering airplanes while Airbus can only deliver failed designs and excuses.
The only problem I have with boeing is they concentrate most everything in the liberal area of Seattle.
Should spread the work around to other areas of the country. Let them go back to logging in the Washington area some. :)
