The U.S. accuses Airbus of taking advantage of decades of European
subsidies worth the equivalent of up to $205 billion to capture
long-standing Boeing customers and become the world's largest seller
of planes.

The EU, meanwhile, refers to tax breaks, development funding and
outright grants to Boeing as examples of wrongdoing by the U.S.
government and the states of Illinois, Kansas and Washington. It also
accuses the U.S. of providing vast amounts of hidden support to Boeing
through military contracts, citing a total subsidy figure through 2024
of $23.6 billion.

Which is why we should all buy Eclipse, Diamond, and Cessna!

It seems to me the weakening dollar will make the Boeing offerings
more attractive to otherwise indifferent buyers. Interms of euros, the
Boeing product is now discounted by at least a third from a couple of
years ago. That is a huge discount!

Many of the big 'dollar' parts are made offshore on the 787, so I imagine that the weak dollar will not be as big an
advantage...
