“In February there should be an announcement that has taken four years to pull off,” [AL Gov Riley] said. “There are two places in the United States that build live body aircrafts ... and in mid-February I believe Airbus is going to announce a third and it will be in Mobile, Alabama.”

As to the 767, it's too bad they didn't decide to revamp it with all of the cool stuff of the 787 first. GTF's, no bleed systems, avionics, composites, and so on. Then have a 762, 763 and 764. I mean they do all of this rinky dink stuff on the 737, why not revamp a beloved and known quantity?
