Jobs Going?

Further news, seems daily now, of the woes at Airbus, with the new boss, Louis Gallois, warning there are likely to be "painful" job losses at the plane firm in light of delays to its A380 superjumbo.

I hope it sorts itself out, afterall, it's an amazing feat of engineering, both in terms of UK wing design, and manufacturing scale. And besides, I want to travel on one of these things once they're in service, and sample the jacuzzi's, casino's, and swimming pools they all keep talking about ;-)

Interestingly, Louis Gallois has now replaced Christian Streiff, who was appointed only 3 months ago and has now quit over "disagreements with EADS...". Wonder how long Louis will be in the job?
