Or buying Airbuses...

Now what makes me think thats a tad unlikely!, The airbus's are at a
huge disadvantage, in Fuel load, Range limit, and Size, they are
barely adequate.....

At least thats what the request for tenders looked like after Boeing
wrote/rewrote it for the USAF, the USAF seem to want a smaller fuel
load, over a shorter distance, and don't really want to muck about
with all that cargo stuff either, and are quite happy to pay top
dollar for that exact sort of capability.

Viola!!! Boeing wins...
