Boeing Wins Tanker Contract
Just heard, and I'll try to tease out more detail for the weekend.
I'm kind of surprised, the Airbus A330 is a better plane, that's why the 767 is at the end of life, but the A330 is still selling, but then again, I was kind of surprised when EADS won in the first competition, because of the dynamics of a foreign firm winning such a high stakes competition.
If Boeing had lost, I would have said that a challenge was a dead nuts certainty, but EADS is I think rather less likely to do so, if just because the potential blow-back is bigger.
