I say we report Airbus/EADS to the EU anti-trust commission... oh, wait...
Boeing took out at least one full page ad in the paper here outlining their complaints with the process. However, not sure what they wanted to do by that. The only thing worse than a closed-door, under-the-table contract award system would be one done by public opinion...
Personally, having grown up in Seattle in the days when Seattle's economy = Boeing's economy (i.e. pre Microsoft), I'm a big Boeing fan, and I dislike the anticompetitive nature of government involvement of Airbus (plus I hate their commercial jets I fly in), but I gotta admit, I know squat about tanker qualifications/capabilities/TCO/reliability, etc. etc.
