The 380 is a white elephant but Airbus seems to win in the middle category with the 320, hopefully that will turn around.

Agreed. My point is the 787, which is currently more expensive, seems to be very modifiable (sp?). I think the techonology there will give Boeing the ability to compete effectively against the a320 in the future. Either the 737 will be redesigned to take advantge of the 787's techinology or the a 787 offering will come along that replaces the 737.

Airbus has spent it R&D budget on the A380 which does not give it the technology needed to compete with the 787. They will need to head back to the drawig board and reallocate funds in order to compete. They of course will. But how long will that take and what will it cost them.

They (Airbus) wrote the 787 off originally. Now they kow they need to get moving.
