This has got to be the dumbest thread I have ever seen. Airbus is in fact a French/German company. Where, one the other hand you have the US companies like Boeing and MD. I am a mechanic for a major airline. We have a descent share of both Airbus and Boeing. They both have thier perks. While Boeing is the traditional workhorse of the air. Airbus has so much awesome technology that it takes to the sky. Also, when you make a stupid post like this, think about everything first. The amount of avionics alone in each aircraft has got to be somehwere around 5-10 million dollars. Honeywell & Rockwell Collins come to mind. One of which is in my hometown. Both of which are American companies. The engines on the aircraft, IAE V2500 are a combined effort between 4 top companies. One of them being Pratt and Whitney. The other engine variant is CFM another joint effort between 2 companies, one of which is General Electric. I can go on and on. So next time think about what you say. In the end you may hurt Americans, such as me. If you dont fly my airline, they sell less seats, they cut flights, they cut aircraft, they cut jobs. In closing, Airbus is my favorite type of aircraft, because of the amazing systems onboard. Just take a look at my login name.......
