Indian airlines grabbed the spotlight on
Day 2 of the Paris Air Show on June 14, committing to buy
about $7 billion in jets from Europe's Airbus and U.S. arch-rival
Boeing Co.
The orders highlighted growing demand for air travel in
India, China and the Middle East, which aerospace executives
hope will power a rebound in global aircraft manufacturing
that began last year.
They also helped to keep Airbus ahead in the battle for
customers at the air show after Qatar Airways' whopping
$10.6 billion plan to buy its planes on June 13. Airbus
traditionally uses industry events to showcase deals, and
Boeing remains poised to regain the lead in commercial jet
orders this year.

Claim to be a Refugee rather
than a Pensioner.... you get more mullah
It is interesting that the(Canadian) federal
government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance
of $1,890.00 and each can also get an additional $580.00
in social assistance for a total of $2,470.00. This compares
very well to a single pensioner who after contributing to
the growth and development of Canada for 40 to 50 years
can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age
pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees! Lets send
this to all Canadians, so we can all be ticked off and maybe
we can get the refugees cut back to $1,012.00 and the pensioners
up to $2,470 00 and enjoy some of the money we were forced
to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 years.
