Here is an email I received from Air France. "Thank you for your e-mail regarding our choice of the Airbus A320 aircraft.
Airbus is, in fact, not a French company. It is a European organization
owned by British, Spanish, French and German concerns. While the A320 is
assembled in France, Airbus also operates numerous manufacturing and
assembly plants throughout Europe and spends more money with suppliers
in the U.S. than in any other country. In 2002 alone, Airbus spent $5.5
billion in the U.S., supporting 120,000 American jobs at hundreds of
companies located across some 40 U.S. states.
As an airline that calls New York City home, we are very sensitive to
the patriotic measures and sacrifices of Americans in these difficult
times. We, like you, look forward to a time in the not too distant
future when the international cooperation that goes into building our
aircraft finds its way into world affairs."

Sincerely,

Tiffany
JetBlue Customer Commitment

I had canceled a free round trip ticket NYC/PARIS on the Concorde with Air France. Au revoir, France!

Thanks for posting that and reminding people to do their homework before they start bashing a successful American airline.
