Now, Airbus is comming out with the 380, a full length double
decker.
Boeing decided not to extend its 747 top the full length. Let's
hope
that Boeing made the right decision.


Why should we hope that??


Because we like American companies to be successful as it translates
into
more jobs and more money for Americans!

*We* like European companies to be succesful for much the same reason.

Really? So Airbus' success is a good thing for the Irish?

Not sure if Shorts ( Belfast ) get a look in on Airbus contracts. I know
of no
Aerospace manufacturing in the Republic.

Why are you so fixated about the Irish specifically ?


Graham


Is Ireland not part of Europe?

Jarg

Sure - and so is Lichtenstein.

Your point is ?

The major players/partners in Airbus are French, German, Spanish and British.
There are obviously 'spinoff' contracts elsewhere.

Sorry if Ireland, the Czech Republic, Denmark or whoever aren't specifically
involved. The benefit to the the EU is real nonetheless.
