I love how that article points out all the bad things about airbus and all the good things about boeing...

Good news though.

Are Boeing really based in Chicago?

What a really credible newscaster MSNBC are. No hint of bias at all...

Congrats to Airbus. It was a long time coming (as with any new plane) but a well deserved achievement. Best of luck to 'em.
That said, I can't wait to see the 787. The A380 may be big and cool, but I think the 787 will be an enormous success.

No, they're based in Seattle. :)

My point entirely regarding the journalistic accuracy of MSNBC...

Boeing is based in Chicago... however, commerical airplanes are built, tested, and as far as I know designed in Seattle.

So they are.

I stand corrected. Still, not the greatest article either way...
