Now maybe NG and Airbus can build a better and cheaper plane. But given their track record (i.e. not having one) for this kind of plane, nothing can delete 50 years of building this plane like Boeing pioneered... So, are folks telling me Boeing is gonna want to give up trade secrets?

Funny you should mention trade secrets, because Airbus has a history of actually ripping off Boeing's planes. They take Boeing's plans and tweak them slightly to make their own product. Few people know this, but the double-decker plane that Airbus just launched was actually discussed and drawn up at Boeing decades ago...but Boeing rejected that idea in favor of the 787, which they believed was a better solution to airlines' needs. So far, that bet looks to have been the smart one.
