I have a funny feeling were in for some surprises from France. Their Airbus is making dents in Boeings armor. The French might not be the fools we take them to be.

What will all the EEU subsidies they are giving Airbus while whinning about any subsidies made to Boeing.

Who knows, you might be right. It's bound to happen sooner or later.

My point is, be careful who you look down your nose at. They might surprise during the years one can waste in smug delusions of superiority.

Boeing doesn't have tail sections falling off these days do they? Airbus does.

Airbus is an EU product (mostly France and England). It is heavily subsidized to keep it competitive with Boeing. The EU contends that Pentagon reliance on Boeing is an effective subsidy, justifying thereby the continued Airbus subsidy.

I worked for Paribas for 4 years early in my career. The French are very smart and surprisingly hard working. They're not fools, just pricks.

Perhaps not fools; more like insufferable asses.
