Implications: Just when we all thought the A380 program is getting sorted out, along comes this story. And right in the middle of the Farnborough show - ouch!

Analysis: And we all thought the problem was solved, right? After all, are we not now in the period where the first batch of planes are rewired and the regular wiring is in place going forward? Dream on it seems.

Its clear from the story that the Franco-German entente is not quite there yet.  Jean-Pierre Guizerix leads the French team is quoted as saying “We are in deep shit.” Ah, yeah. Then throw this little gem into the mix - "at least 60 per cent of the Germans were not even Airbus people but temporary staff drafted in from outside." Wow! now this is news. We have not seen this anywhere before. Can Airbus seriously think that this is the solution?

Clearly the A380 assembly is a mess - still.
