Airbus NEO win at Virgin America was not a loss for Bombardier
January 24, 2011
Virgin America and the Airbus NEO - Straight from the CEO | iagblog.podomatic.com
Pundits and even a few analysts have taken the view that Virgin America's decision to become a launch customer for the Airbus NEO is a loss for Bombardier. On the face of it, that seems an unassailable view.

November 1, 2010
This past week we were part of Media Day at Southwest Airlines. It was a most pleasant visit. However, news reports coming out of the event bear some scrutiny.

August 30, 2010
Boeing very late August 26 announced yet another delay of its newest airplane, the 787. Some are trying hard to say this is no surprise – but there is no way any further delays are welcomed by Boeing or its customers. The 787 program has become a source of management embarrassment and a program that has billions of dollars in cost overruns and customer penalties, aggregating $20 billion by some estimates.

JAL To Get $7.8bn In State Guarantee | www.financierworldwide.com
JAL has been under a cloud for months. This company has a proud history, in a nation with a fine appreciation for history. The struggle at JAL does not sit well with the Japanese people. It is not a proud moment to see a "national champion" go through this type of battle. But there is more to the struggle than a proud corporation being humbled.

Another side of the tanker story
October 8, 2009
Pentagon in the Tanker | spectator.org
This acquisition is going to be political before it is anything else. Congress cannot stay out of it and the vendors are lining up their supporters. No matter what the SecDef says. Which is why he was clever to hand back the decision to the Air Force. Who would want to be in the midst of this?

The struggle with in-flight Internet
October 7, 2009
Row44 opens the door for BYOI | www.flightglobal.com
This space has been the promised land of airline ancillary revenue from way back before 9/11, when Boeing brought us their Connexion service.Boeing's product worked as promised, but the economic model did not. Boeing canned the service just as, many would argue, it was starting to gain momentum. The loss of Connexion hampered the in-flight entertainment industry - but two new firms are offering in-flight WiFi now with mixed success.

THAI fails to transfer four long-range jets | www.bangkokpost.com
OEMs have often tried to offer a plane that is a shrink of the original and invariably this does not work. Even if the idea is to offer a niche plane that technically does the job, airlines that buy these planes seem to live to regret the decision.
