Biggest French Failure Since Waterloo

[Weatherman2020]

Airbus says it will stop producing the world’s largest passenger jet, the A380.

I was in aerospace when the 380 was being designed, we all knew it would fail. Limited market, costs megabucks and if a flight is cancelled the airline loses a ton of money. Too much risk for airlines.

The title of the thread is one of the stupidest l have ever seen on this forum. First of all, A380 is virtually a pan-European project. Secondly, A380 is a great achievement of European air industry and a great example of unexcelled engineering thought.

It is probably inexplicable, but if someone could tell us what it is that entertains Americans about bashing France, it would be interesting to know. We all know that France contributed essentially to America's existence, but what did that country ever do to the U.S. that was so wrong?

Major Butthurt, it’s a French plane with subcontractors all over the world.

I know. The A350 has parts with my name on them.

Ask the American dead in France.

The reason so many Americans hate France is because they are rude to American tourists. My father refuses to go there anymore.

My first wife was French catholic and she was never rude to me, before marriage.

Next time you can go through the soft underbelly and allies of Hitler like Austria. More French died than Americans in that battle of France.

That wasn't when Americans turn on France, it was just brainwashed ignorant right wingers ever... And they were right about Iraq that really pissed American right-wingers off. We should have waited for the full story.

By which he means Paris. Paris has been rude to tourists for 1000 years....

The majority of the French have positive attitudes toward America. Too bad that a minority of Americans have succeeded in promoting a negative image of America's oldest ally.
