Poland's LOT announced today that they will sue Boeing for compensation.
Regarding Oberon's comment, just recently Boeing has re-taken the crown from Airbus again and was seen in a trend to re-claim lead position for the forseeable future. In the past two or three years, Airbus had the lead by a narrow marginThe A380 is not in high demand, and the impression was that the Europeans may have made a politically ambitioned miscalculation when doing a plane this big: the political interference at Airbus is immense and the criticism is voiced that politicians wanted to show the Americans that they can build "the biggest". Economic reason and demand maybe had less with it to do than was economically healthy.
The race between Airbus and Boeing is extremely tight, however.
