The best they are doing is breaking even right now.

I doubt it costs $18,000 to make a Falcon..... otherwise FoA would be making about a $15 Million profit per month even on the reduced volumes from this year vs the line rate of 2007 !

Remember the profits even when 80,000 vehicles were being built was less than $200 Million (a couple of years ago), not $500 to 600 Million.

I think it is probably closer to $27,000 inc R&D, loan repayments, etc. (Depending on the model of course).

Higher spec models = more profit also.
That's pretty much how i see it.
