...but this is not too bad. I love AF. Especially since I was a small kid and they were flying the Concorde in their red, white and blue livery.

This seems like a reasonable path forward, but I have to take exception to the bailout conditions that essentially limits them to buying only Airbus aircraft. I’m not a fan of one airframe manufacturer over another, but I dislike the idea of hampering the ability for a company to choose the best aircraft for its fleet as this  will just lead to more problems down the line. If an airplane isn’t a good fit for the carrier it’s not going to be economically feasible and will just bring up the same problems at a later time, but I guess that’s just modern political thinking worldwide - a quick fix now and let's not think about the future...

I’m almost certain that it’s agains t the European law to force a company to buy (or not to buy) from another company without any good reason (like a security reason)

That’s precisely the problem. And one that airlines in America are going to have to come face to face with in less than two months.

instead of going all Airbus, they need to keep some boeing.
