No surprise really since EADS (Airbus) won the competition, but it was then cancelled and "fixed" so the American company won.
IMO, EADS should sue for costs as it was clearly never a fair competition.

Then in early 2008 EADS, partnered with Northrop Grumman Corp, won a 179-plane deal.
That was then cancelled after government auditors upheld parts of a protest by Boeing.

Title fail.

It should read "Boeing bludgeon competition out of the way".

The Americans like to buy American equipment, go figure.

IIRC Congress was always against Airbus getting the deal.
