Quoted from the BBC: “The deal will also safeguard thousands of British aviation jobs, the BBC’s Andy Moore says. Wings will be made at factories in Bristol and in North Wales.”

British jobs!
Isn’t our euro friends getting our jobs a good thing?
The British and French deserve these jobs because they’re more worthy than us: They have socialized medicine, wornderful welfare, great public transport, and have a lower carbon footprint per person! It’s a win for the environment too!
Plus.. if you never been to Bristol.. You’ll understand that they need these jobs way more than we do.
Since the Air Force apparently chose the A330-based plane over the 767 as a result of its greater capabilities and efficiency (which were *not* specified in their RFP, apparently) how about they give Boeing a second chance to offer a bigger aircraft, too? Something like variation of the 777-200F, which could blow the A330 out of the water on capacity and fuel efficiency. Or, maybe a variant of the 787? Hey, Boeing could then open a second 787 line in Everett!
