@janremoto4849 it's quite simple in a way. Those people were the only people that knew how a certain job works. When they where inhouse Boeing who already has it's own back office (HR, and what not) Dit not have to cover that cost above the initial hire. If said people are spun off to there own company. they still are the only peope that know how to do that job. they now can turn to Boeing and demand a better pay. (plus Boeing as a customer also needs to pay for there back office) Boeing can refuse but then has no people to do that vital part. and those people could then walk over to Airbus and offer there expertise. If they are vital enough Airbus might just cover there exclusivity fee to Boeing. spinning of divisions in to there own companies only really works if for both parties there are enough others to pick and choose. Airspace does not have that.

@level10peon It might help that at Airbus some of there bigger share holders are the French, German and Spanish government's For them the longevity of the company and their people working for the different divisions of Airbus. creates the mind set that not the profit it self is the target. profit is only a tool to make sure the company keeps on going. that company creates lots of jobs. Lots of jobs is a lot of money that can be taxed.
