USA - All students must show "papers"

hmm, I'll have to check back with Lou Dobbs on that one.

Dodge and Ford, but clearly many Canadian parts;^)

Yes, thanks for contributing your tax euros to our tax dollars to allow
airlines such as Northwest to buy these ["Airbus planes"] with their

According to the US Treasury's Air Transportation Stabilization Board
website:

http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/domes...activity.shtml

Northwest Airlines http://www.nwa.com is _not_ among those airlines
who have applied for and received so-called "bailout" funds from the
Federal Government, nor are any of the other largest US Airlines, with
the exception of UAL who have yet to have any of their applications
approved.

The 319-320-321 series of Airbus aircraft fit the needs, and the pocket
books, of the several US Airlines who operate them better than the
competing models from Boeing. Sorry about that. Perhaps your company
operates differently and doesn't mind subsidizing competing suppliers
whose products/prices don't quite measure up to your needs. The
stockholders of NWA do not agree. The 40,000 employees of NWA are glad
that they are not among those workers whose airlines have declared
bankruptcy.

I prefer to "buy American" myself, and I wish that no Airbus aircraft
had ever been sold to a US Airline, but then I don't have to answer to a
Board of Directors nor a horde of stockholders about purchasing
decisions. Do you own and drive US-made automobiles Frank, or even ones
constructed primarily in N. America? I hope so.
