   Boeing has been bringing in lots of new orders. The Volga-Dnepr order was   
   just announced. ALAFCO and Continental also added orders. I think Boeing was   
   probably happy that Aeroflop cancelled. It freed up some production slots   
   and there's no shortage of other customers. If you look at Airbus' press   
   releases, they are usually pretty lame...like A380 will touch down in the   
   US....whoopee!   
      
   My guess is Boeing has already outsold Airbus on $$$ value. Almost every   
   plane sold by Boeing was a high profit margin wide body while almost every   
   plane sold by Airbus was a low profit single aisle. I think Airbus only sold   
   7 or 8 planes total in February. A big order from AAL will put Boeing way   
   out in front.
