WSJ: Airbus Market Share Slides

From today's WSJ:

Airbus revealed that its share of new aircraft orders by value has waned to about 36% this year from 45% last year, in a sign of just how much damage the European jet maker has suffered amid delays in its A380 superjumbo program. Boeing, of course, has been the major beneficiary of Airbus's turbulence, and the U.S. aerospace giant is on course to pass Airbus in orders for the first time in six years. Airbus predicts global demand for 22,700 aircraft worth $2.6 trillion over the next two decades. "This is a growth industry, no matter how you slice it,'' said Chief Operating Officer John Leahy at a news conference in London.
Is that the best comment John could come up with?
