ONE STEP BACK - TWO STEPS FORWARD

Let us praise democracy and hope and that the latest election will lead to better things...the enemy in the GWOT is patient and our allies are few but victory will be ours as long as we never give up...meanwhile lets focus on some good news!

A few years ago Airbus and Boeing laid out 2 diverging strategies for the future of commercial aviation. I thought Boeing made the right choice - more efficient long range machines for point to point travel. Airbus chose to make a huge beast that would require expensive hub airport modifications and initially garnered a long list of orders which they cannot fulfill. The dice have been rolled and Airbus is well on its way to bankruptcy - except it will be bailed out by the governments and taxpayers that own it.
