I thought Boeing was having a lot of problems competing with Airbus until reading this article. For the last several years everyone has predicted Airbus total dominance over Boeing, yet the truth is Boeing had a couple of slow sales years in relation to Airbus while they were in the process of bringing their Dreamliner killer app to market. Looks like Boeing made the right call and kudos to the Boeing employees!

Quote:
As of November 30, Boeing had logged almost four times more firm orders for its 787 Dreamliner than has Airbus for its A350. That's 185 planes to 49 planes. This week Qantas chairman Margaret Jackson said the 787 was "a very clear commercial winner for Boeing." Boeing this year will likely beat its previous sales record of 878 planes, set in 1998. A Seattle Times front-page headline read, "Boeing increases lead over Airbus."


Read the entire article.

Congradulations Boeing Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I wonder if this has anything to do with the continued Aussie coalition support and PM Howard's relationship with Bush.
