I'm merely pointing out that Airbus is not alone in this respect - they just happen to be the one under the spotlight today. Do I take it you are denying that either Boeing or McDD have ever had any of these problems. Is trying to maintain a balance being an apologist?
And you never have (apart from a "might have read something in Airliners World" statement) produced a shred of evidence to support performance shortfalls on Airbus. I'm consistently curious on AC's "percieved" A345 problems when neither SQ, LH, LH, VS are saying the same with their A345/346 fleet. And despatch reliability stats for AC's 345's did not show any particular problem.
As for stock, I have a good number of shares in one of Airbus AND Boeing's biggest system suppliers. So as long as one of them is doing OK then so is my stock price.
