Airbus steals show with last-minute $14 billion Wizz deal

is it time yet for boeing to get off their duffs and respond to the airbus 330 land rush?

The venerable 757 is screaming for rebirth, especially when/if some mods can be made to remake a great aircraft into a GREAT aircraft. Or does boeing wish to cede the market ?

There was a recent squawk about just such a replacement which could be OTD 2015. When CEO bonuses depend on next quarters numbers, 10 years is a looong time.

Old hype. If AB did steal the show, it would be petty theft.
