Boeing sees Airbus aid ploy to build rival jet
The Boeing Co. is anticipating that archrival Airbus soon will seek
hundreds of millions of dollars in new aid from European governments
despite a pending case at the World Trade Organization challenging such
subsidies.

Same ol' same ol'. Airbus screwed the pooch not once but twice, with the
A380 program foundering


Firm orders currenty stand at 159 before the first aircraft has even entered
service. Current predictions are that sales will exceed 600. With the break
even
number at around 300 the phrase 'foundering' seems somewhat odd.
