The argument is not that different than buying a honda vs a chevy. If honda produces a better car for the price should you buy the chevy just because it's American? Now I'm not saying that Airbus is Honda by any means, but in a free market economy the best product for the price should be chosen. Again I don't know if this is the case here, but it's just something to keep in mind. Also remember that EADS is heavily subsidized by the EU. If they really offered the A330 for the price of a 767 then the AF seems to have made a pretty good move. Does anybody have a link to the subsidy price being the same as the 767? Don't forget Northrop gets a big piece of this pie as well as the workers in Mobile.
