You're right. I liked Boeing a lot better when Douglas was around to keep them honest. We need two healthy aircraft manufacturers to ensure a supply of innovative aircraft at reasonable prices.
I like the fact that Delta can play these two manufacturers against each other now. It would be great to see an order for some A330s.
