Default Government Intervention

Until the WTO steps in, Airbus will continue to have a competitive advantage in the commercial jet market. Period. Something has got to be done about government subsidies in Europe, or the U.S. needs to start "subsidizing" Boeing.

I am not proposing socialism here, just a little "government help" to restore capitalism. Wouldn't be the first time in history...

When I think of the Boeing fleet VS. the Airbus fleet
737NG VS. A320
767 VS. A330
777 VS. A340
787 VS. A350
747F VS. A380

I see Boeing aircraft downright dominating except in the 737NG VS. A320 and maybe the A380. Why is it that Airbus continues to receive so many orders. The U.S. government needs to step to the plate on this one.
