They will never learn. Airbus should be allowed to expire. But that will never happen. The same disfunctional structure will be preserved, to mess things up over and over again.
And the thing they can't see is that Boeing's market share will grow larger than it ever could of if it had been faced with a couple of nimble German private companies, a couple of nimble French private companies, etc. Instead they go for the state-owned solution and get shellacked over the long haul.
