TOULOUSE, FRANCE: Airbus shares have dropped almost as quickly as their planes after a series of midair incidents has raised questions about safety standards.
The European plane manufacturer has had its record tarnished by the general inability of their planes to stay in the air.
A spokesperson for the manufacturer said that it is a PR problem for an company to have planes that don’t fly, but they believed Airbus will reclaim it’s good reputation after the series of embarrassing events.
The midair dramas are affecting passenger confidence too. Shane Johnson recently returned from a Mad Monday trip to Bali with his local rugby league team and says he was most disappointed with the Airbus A330 he was on.
“The air hostesses weren’t really hot, and there were some blokes there too. It’s not right. Plus they cut me off after only eight VBs.”
The Airbus spokesperson would not comment on Mr Johnson’s complaints.
My conspiracy sense is tingling: Look at the graph for US arms supplier industrial average (http://thebuglernews.blogspot.com/2009/07/obama-presidency-bad-news-for-arms.html) and altitude of a standard Airbus flight (above).
ReplyDeleteI knew the US Govt were trying to bring down European aerospace manufacturers in an effort to prop up US interests!!!
