So, with well over 500 flying, with Northwest a primary customer and while currently outselling the 767 by 2.5 to 1, Airbus has just destroyed the tooling of the 330 !?!?!
p.s. the 330 MRTT has been flying since last fall (October?) and GB, the Aussies, Emirates, and the Saudis have all ordered it.

You mean Airbus already has a plant in Alabama producing tankers? That’s news to me. The tooling for a tanker is vastly different than for a passenger airplane. Trust me on this, I know what I am talking about here. Also, Japan is actually using one of OUR tankers.

That really ain’t saying much...
