With the dollar so pathetically low, how on God's earth can Airbus be offering such great deals on their planes? To the contrary, they should be a LOT more than any Boeing products. Something smells fishy here. Before you know it, they'll be offering their pilots to our companies for half the wages and benefits we get...........

Nothing like keeping more Europeans employed. And then we wonder why unemployment is so high in the USA. This, in my opinion, is just as bad as cabotage. Dell lost me as a repeat customer because I got tired of talking to someone in India every time I had a problem. We continue to be our own worst enemy. Maybe we should look to Europe for our CEO's. At least they don't soak the company for millions in bonuses and pay every year.

Unfortunately Boeing is offering a absolutely craptastic product right now. Until they swallow their pride and realize the 737 is not the save all aircraft they'll continue to lose customers. They need to build a completely redesigned airplane with geared turbo fans to compete with the 320 NEO. Not to mention all the egg on their face from the 787 disaster.
While companies may not love everything about the 737, they realize they are buying a well-made, proven, and dependable airplane. The same can't be said about Fifi.

What happened to American Pride and supporting your own countries industry and jobs. Personally I will pay more for the same ticket on an airline that operates primarily US built equipment and when I book a ticket I refuse to book a airbus flight. Just my own little personal form of protest to the outsourcing of American jobs.
