Strong euro causes Airbus, VW to mull opening US factories
Oh dear Lord, Airbus is dangling jobs in exchange for winning a US military plane contract.

Saints preserve us .....
Airbus has been lusting after that air tanker contract for a long time. Interesting issue, though: Boeing has shut down the 767 assembly line, as I recall, and that was the airframe they were going to use for their version of the tanker. Makes you wonder which airframe they'll choose now.
