What's this about then?

it's a big plane, a big french plane. a really, really big french plane.

if today goes well, then they've got a year or so of checks and so on before it's viable for commerical use.

hey, you can't call someone out like that. it's just not right. nuh uh. just because he said Airbus>Boeing and quite possibly is googling for any reasons to back up his "claim" gives you no right to make him look bad on the interweb.
