With all the media attention being directed at Boeing, we hear very little of it's impact on Airbus. Are they just chugging along unchanged or making hay whilst the sun shines? When your primary competitor is busy digging itself into a hole, are they in an ascendancy?

Well.....QANTAS are now almost certain to buy the A350 rather than the 787. Suspect other airlines will closely follow.

If it’s Boeing it ain’t going :D
