Jenny, I assume you are responding to me. First I never criticized any Airbus product. Their current/old products were designed and developed in simpler times.

The problems facing Airbus now will not be worked out and many are betting Airbus will be sold or liquidated. Here is a company owned by different corporations from various countries. Different governments, and Daimler-Chrysler. Their board of directors are French dominated, and serious insider trading lawsuits by shareholders are under investigation.

And don't tell me Daimler executives like being overruled by a country that makes Peugeots ......
