>Successful companies can do layoffs anytime.

Depends. Airbus probably has a strong union in France so mass layoffs especailly during pofitable times seem as likely as contact with aliens.

Strong union in France would be pleased if Airbus decides to layoff folks at their plant in Mobile, Alabama.

The Mobile plant is working heavily to serve the US market with A320s and A220s (on which production is starting to ramp up), so no, there is no place for layoffs while demand far outstrips supply.

Why would they though? Having a presence on US soild is a vital strategical and political baragaining chip for Airbus. They wouldn't jeopardize that.
