Oh and this job is not as interesting as it sounds like! I didn't design this airplane!
It's just like any other engineering job, maybe even more boring!
I'm looking forward to 2005 though because by then the first one should (hopefully) be flying and landing just next to my office (about 100m)

I'm a senior engineer at a big Canadian utility. I also run my own small consulting firm. My most important and potentially rewarding job is that of dad to my 3 year old daughter Sara.

That would be nice. I'm a data analyst in a lab that studies the effects of mind-altering drugs. Your chemical background would be complementary to our behavioral approach.

Nope, it's French-German-British, IIRC...

I don't know what role the Brits play, the large Airbus mfg sites are in France and Germany.
