Tough times ahead........
Airbus unions call for one-day strike
PARIS - Airbus unions in France on Friday ordered a one-day strike for next week to protest planned job cuts and plant disposals at the European aircraft maker.
Shares of the parent company of Airbus, meanwhile, sank as much as 5.2 percent in the wake of the disclosure that work has been halted on the slow-selling freighter version of the A380 model.
The five main French Airbus unions called on workers at Airbus's sites across the country to stop work Tuesday in protest against 10,000 planned job cuts and the sale or closure of six plants announced by Airbus this week.

With UPS canceling their order this should free up slots for the passenger version which I think is a lot more important.

More turbulence for Airbus...uh oh!
Airbus crisis deepens with plunge into losses
MUNICH, Germany (AFP) - Airbus plunged into its first-ever operating loss in 2006 and will be in the red again this year, parent company EADS said Friday in another sign of deepening crisis at the European plane maker.
Analysts at Citigroup investment bank said prospects for Airbus were now "awful" after management warned of vast cost problems and signalled that recovery by rival Boeing was hurting the group.
EADS said Airbus suffered an operating loss of 572 million euros (752 million dollars) in 2006 from an operating profit of 2.3 billion euros in 2005, despite delivering a record 434 aircraft last year.
