Oh & & ....

"Russia has advantages: highly skilled and very cheap labour. Cheap
power and ample supplies of aerospace metals, such as aluminium and
titanium. Boeing is already employing more than 1,000 Russian designers in
a Moscow office."


So Geo S.......poor stds etc.....heck when you keep telling everyone how
good Boeing is.

Soooo......the UK/BAE is looking to get out of EADS just as Russia is
looking to get in. My my how curious.

Hummmm so BAE has 20%....& Russia is looking to go from 5% to
25%....how odd that 20% seems common....

It'll be interesting to see how "attractive" airbus etc purchases
become to Russian airlines vs Boeings....
