WAIT'LL YOU SEE THE ESCAPE CLAUSES:
British Airways Can't Save Airbus (Lionel Laurent, 09.27.07, Forbes)
Airbus' notoriously delay-stricken super-jumbo A380 got a new customer for the first time in two years on Thursday, after British Airways snapped up 12 of the planes in a deal worth nearly $4 billion. But the good news will not dispel worries over profitability at the European plane-maker, as well as the ascendancy of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. [...]Posted by Orrin Judd at September 27, 2007 8:13 AM"It consolidates the 787's position as the future transatlantic plane of choice," said Doug McVitie, Managing Director of consultancy firm Arran Aerospace.

But shouldn't Airbus stop taking orders on the A380 so as to increase their WTO winnings against Boeing (claiming that they lost even more than $27B number the Euros put forth yesterday)?
And don't think it won't happen, because if the Swiss (WTO) can't help their brethren, what good are the Swiss?
