I would like to correct my previous statement about fuel capacity. The EADS offering carries about 20% more fuel. It also can carry more troops or pallets. It looks like a better aircraft and no unions!
Europe is one giant union. The difference is that Europe values its business and supports it (subsidize) while America hammers it business and never supports it. Airbus can make all the promises they want, they’ll be bailed out in the end.
