As long as its Boeing.......A wise man told me to NEVER bid the A model of anything and all of Airbus starts with.... Now if I could figure out why the MD11F was an "A" model when I bid it 15 years ago. Where's my seeing eye F/O!

Report: Emirates Cancels Airbus Order

Dubai's Emirates Airline said it is canceling an order for 10 large jetliners from Airbus and will use Boeing models instead, according to a published report Sunday.
Speaking to reporters at London's Heathrow Airport, Emirates President Tim Clark said his airline won't take the Airbus A340-600 jetliners it had ordered and is sending auditors to assess the European plane maker's progress on building its A380 superjumbo, The Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site.
Emirates will instead order 777 models from Boeing Co., Emirates Executive Vice Chairman Maurice Flanagan said, the Journal reported.
The switch - which follows Clark's complaints last year about the high operating cost of the A340 family of planes - shows how Boeing is benefiting from troubles at Airbus, a unit of Franco-German European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., the paper said.
The Emirates order for 10 A340-600 jetliners had a catalog value of $2.25 billion, according to the newspaper.

P.S. The only difference between an Airbus and a McCullogh chain saw is about 300 trees per minute!
