full assembly line doesn't make much sense: at Toulouse all subassemblies are put together into the real aircraft, this is definitely called a Final Assembly Line, my only concern was if the French use this English term, find as they are of their own terms, I hadn't been surprised if they would call it a LAF (ligne d'assemblage finale), as usual reversing the acronyms ;-)
