Well, if UPS does not trust the Airbus to carry EBay boxes of Chinese trinkets, then *I* am not getting on a passenger version.
We need a new word to refer to America's ubiquitous low-quality Chinese imports.
Hmmm, let's see...
Chinese trinkets > Chinkets?
Hmmm...
Though I much prefer Boeing, this order was not cancelled because of quality issues, it was cancelled because of trust issues. Airbus said, "Can you wait a bit longer for this plane?" UPS responded, "Maybe. Let us run some numbers." Airbus then started taking people off the project. Ergo, they were lying to (and screwing) UPS in order to get their passneger orders filled. UPS decided not to be treated like their dog.
