Lets just hope Germany takes more of the Airbus production over from the frogs. I recently read that Germany took over final assembly from the French. I say the Germans take over the whole operation.
On a side note, the reason Boeing is overtaking Airbus(large aircraft, Airbus still kickin ass with the 320) is that Boeing was able to restructure by laying off thousands, outsourcing work to China. Airbus cant do that, plus they pay there Workers in the Euro, production costs are in the Euro to. Boeing is not doing better because there planes are better... they are doing better because of economic circumstances.
Airbus is still number ONE! All you Boeing suppoters can keep your MADE IN CHINA planes
Actually the new wings ect. are being made in Japan. The reason Boeing is gaining ground is because they went to the best people for the best parts. Airbus just said "we're going to build a plant here and get people to operate it because that country wants us to" meanwhile boeing put out a few contracts and looked through the resumes of other companies to find people that had long experience working in the field. Not saying the airbus guys hired completely incompitent people, but they did let the say of too many people get in the way. Boeing is stepping up because they aren't an oligarchy
