Atlas Air Cancels Three 747-8Fs On Performance Concerns
Atlas Air Holdings, the second largest customer for the 747-8F, abandoned three of the jumbo freighters it has on order, reducing its overall order from 12 to nine aircraft. The move, driven by schedule and performance issues on the early aircraft, advances the cargo carrier's fourth through sixth 747-8Fs built to deliveries later this year.

Bad week geez these guys are how late on the 787? What is going on with one of the few remaining manufacturing giants of this country?

EASA will rubberstamp and aprove anything Airbus submits, because those very governments need the revenue/loan paybacks..
Boeing has to actually certify their airplanes, but they don't fall apart as often.
now, with that much of a competitive challenge, try to be fair to a 3% fuel consumption estimate.

To be fair there have been many more Boeing 737-800 accidents than A320 over the last few years
Boeing wrote their own fuel estimates, not Airbus. Much of the miss is attributable to the GEnx 2B, the airframe itself is only 2.5-3t overweight.
