   While the dumb Airbus workers were all outdoors having a gay and wonderful   
   time protesting, Airbus was quietly shipping their jobs off to Russia.   
   Airbus sold out, just like Prodi sold out to Taliban terrorists and Zapatero   
   sold out to ETA terrorists. No doubt part of the conditions to get the   
   recent 20 A350 plane deal, Airbus will be shipping production of the next   
   millennium A350XWB off to Russia. Airbus may be dumb but they apparently   
   suckered the even dumber Russians. Russia thinks it's getting something but   
   all it's getting is a financial and political sinkhole.   
      
   The politics of Airbus will become more and more muddled and confused, if   
   that's possible, just like an A380 wiring bundle. Meanwhile, shareholders   
   can't seem to dump EADS shares fast enough.   
      
   I'm sure Alenia is glad they threw their lot in with Boeing though. They are   
   guaranteed jobs for decades just building the 787. The first Italian-built   
   fuselages should be arriving shortly. Let's hope the Italians didn't screw   
   things up. It is very difficult to get Italians to do any work even under   
   ideal conditions.   
      
   It seems almost certain that Boeing will need to double 787 production   
   because of the demand.   
      
   Meanwhile, Rostyk is buying more Bombardier shares just as the Russians and   
   Chinese will be biting into Embraer's and Bombardier's 100-seater market.   
   The only good news is that the Chinese and Russians will likely have a hard   
   time selling outside of their respective countries.
