Whatever, you know what the EU will do next?

They'll bump up ESA's budget (that's the EU's NASA), fund research into technologies whos real use are on civilian airplanes and then email all the research results to Airbus.

You know the interesting fact here? I am aware that the US government is propping up Boeing and I am aware that the EU government is propping up Airbus. Yet you seem to ignore the pork-barrel spending that's being used to prop up Boeing.

You are arguing that the White House can and should prop up Boeing while the EU should sit tight and let Airbus rot.

Well, tough luck =/

The truth is, if Boeing had to rely on its own without the rain of cash from the United States budget, Boeing would go into bankruptcy. But it'll never happen because the US government considers Boeing an strategic industry so they'll keep supporting them - and as long as that fact doesn't change, the EU can do whatever it wants concerning Airbus.

The only thing this ruling will accomplish is changing the way the euros are doled out to Airbus.
