#1 Customers tend to drift elsewhere when you can't deliver. They're funny that way...

#2 Yeah. It's odd how airlines can't run without airliners.

#4 When all you have to sell is dogs, only the kennel clubs are interested. The A320 is still selling OK, but the rest of the Airbust product line is in the dumpster. Nobody wants the expense of a 4 engined jet anymore, now that the FAA has effectively removed all time-to-divert restrictions on overwater flights for twinjets (ETOPS). And until the new and improved A350WXT ( or whatever) is actually a reality, sitting on the ramp somewhere, I only think that Boeing's 787 backlog is going to get bigger. and their 747-8 freighter is starting to rack up sales, at the expense of Airbust. Still waitning for Boeing to announce the sale of a 'Dreamlifter' freighter to a commercial outfit (Dreamlifter is the official name given to the 747-derived parts carriers for the 787 Deamliner. It would make an excellent outsize vehicle for the market that right now is owned by the Anatov 124-226 heavy lifters). The Airbust equivalent is the Beluga, but it is also an internal use aircraft only.

#5 Airbus's market share now stands at only 18 percent, compared to Boeing's 82 percent, it added.
