Not sure I want to hear the words "freefall" and "stalling" from
any airplane manufacturer even if the intended context is supposedly good. Bad metaphor, sir. Bad metaphor.
To quote:
But the airlines are not really cancelling existing orders either, for fear of falling behind rivals once an economic recovery gets underway.
Such a recovery could be well underway by the time the air show returns to Farnborough next June, Mr Carson said, insisting "the freefall has stalled".
