I think Airbus very intentionally delayed parts of this program to see what Boeing had up their sleeve. I am anxious to see how the program progresses from this point on. Depending on if Airbus has another A380is or 787ish type development problem maybe barring US is not a memory on Airliners.net by that time the 2017 delivery date will end up being first available for US anyway.
