So in 2011 there should be no surprise when their brand new refueling plane has it's refueling boom arm fall off the plane and into the Atlantic Ocean.

It would only be a surprise if this kind of incompetence didn't happen.

"Airbus executives said the cause of the accident, which occurred Wednesday off the coast of Portugal, was not yet clear."

Um.... yeah it is clear. You outsourced to cheap incompetent labor and your plane fell apart in mid air. Makes perfect sense. Your friends at Boeing are learning the same lesson.

Outsourcing = Disaster. This math has been proven over and over and over.
