airlines out of Europe are able to do that with fuel much higher in
Europe.


Are they subsidized?

Jose


If they are, why not ours? I think KLM is. I don't know
about BA.How can American air carriers compete with a higher
Euro AND Government subsidy by the respective Governments?

Not possible

If foreign carriers get US domestic routes its all over but
the shouting.Remember the glory days of Pan-Am and TWA?
America dominated transcontinental traffic.

Why not now?

Two reasons. The FAA is inept and "Bean Counters and Suits"
run airlines in America. The aviation spirit and blood is dying

No new ideas or looking around corners.It's all about
"Bottom Line" and making everyone happy through politically
correct tyranny.

I guarantee the FAA spends(wastes) more tax money on
Diversity classes and social programs kissing the black ass
and investigating if some woman got her feelings hurt than
promoting aviation and new ideas. The FAA is not much better
than HUD. A big Government cluster ****

The passion is gone from American aviation. There is no
leadership or fire in the belly for new ideas

Now everyone is treated like cattle so some rag head *******
don't sue. I say jack all Muslims under 25 up. If they bitch
and whine and are carrying a foreign passport, tell them
tough ****.

That's why American aviation is on the ropes

No balls and politically correct stupidity

Where is Chuck Yeager and Howard Hughes when we need them?
