FTB,
The control reversal on the B47 was due to structure flexing when flight controls being used. The wing would flex opposite aileron deployment, making the aileron a servo tab and the wing the aileron. That is an entirely different issue than the Airbus sudden reversal, which was commanded.

And A330's too?
I wonder if it's part of a package deal, along with the "Wide Body Order" we are supposed to hear about come August?
My NW Budds tell me it was Richard who brought the Airbus's NW, when he was CEO there.
I hear he doesn't like new Boeings (too expensive) any more than he liked Apple iPads (for the same reason) which is why we are getting Microsoft tablets.
Hey, Wait
Maybe it's 15 A380's!!

Man! What's been going on with the market the last couple of weeks!?! I love it but I'm wondering when the other shoe is going to drop..... DAL stock is about 18.10.....WooHoo! What's it going to do for the rest of the year along with the rest of the market? Just curious what people think. See who has the best crystal ball!

Yeah I bet Boeing is "hopping mad" that we're making noise over their goverment gravy train ImEx slush fund to the dellusional ME fantasy bubble carriers. That is a ride they do NOT want to end "artificially". I'd be suprised if they were willing to deal very much right now, especially to DL. They're pretty high on themselves with everything except the 787 right now, and likewise AB is probably more than happy to oblige.

And IMO a really, really risky time to be entertaining a stock buyback. Even if we go the dividend route and that inflates it even more, when we inevitably stop, and we will, it'll be right back to where it would have been without it and all that money will be gone. We need to put 100% of that "plan" into long term pension debt payments and further product investment.
