Tiahrt speaks out from the House floor about the ploy by the Airbus team to skew the KC-X Tanker competition in favor of the French tanker by threatening not to bid unless the requirements are changed.
Airbus will just slide the US Government some millions of dollars of money to keep their employees employed. Just like they did with their "customers" for the very [in]efficient A340-series. The -600 is a joke, equip stronger engines that barely offer better fuel economy.
If they don't change their mantra, Tiahrt is right, Airbus will drop out of the competition.

They won't change it either. Look at their A380.
