I don't think Airbus got the 200 A350 orders in 2005 Leahy said they'd get.

The combined firm + commitments is 170. I'm not sure of what the breakdown is. Probably 30% firm? Bangkok Airways ordered 6 on the 30th.

Do you know how many A350s Airbus has said they must sell to "break even" (such as it is with subsidies)?

I know they had said they needed to sell 250+ A380s to "break even" - and that was before the cost overruns and schedule delay penalties..........
