Let's call it a "friendly rivalry", at least at the engineering level. Deep respect on both sides. We share more than you might think...
The "deep rivalries" are more with the suits in the ivory towers, and the politicians they have in their pockets. In other words, with the money boys. We try to stay out of that. We just want to build airplanes and have fun, on both sides. Part of the fun is building a better one than the other guy.
