I've been trying to pound some sense into the poor boy but I think I need a
bigger hammer.
Anyway, it's hard to imagine things at Airbust getting much worse but I hear
tap dancing shoes have become very hard to find in any town where there are
Airbust execs. They must be getting ready for Farnborough...assuming someone
from Airbust works up enough courage to even show his face.
What's kinda funny is that Airbust is going to show the A340 and the A380.
The A340 was made obsolete by the Boeing 777 and the A380 was made obsolete
by Airbust. Hell! Even is the ancient 747 is outselling the A380 this year,
11-0.
In short the A380 is a disaster already made. The A340 is ready for
embalming and the A350 doesn't even exist on paper anymore so we can't call
it anything.
