would they push to tax their own fuel?
The Airlines will say that they pay their share.. they don't. Every ticket
they sell includes a $10 fee that is passed from the customer to the Govt.
But the airlines won't tell their passengers that is where the dollars are
coming from to that they claim to have to pay.

I don't know where you got your $10 flat fee, but it is not correct. Most (US)
Airline passengers contribute 7.5% of their ticket price into the Airport &
Airway Trust Fund, which pays for facility improvements, navigation aids, and
some operational costs. This is in addition to the segment tax, which is $3.40
everytime you take off or land as a passenger. Rural passengers instead pay a
7.5% rural airport tax, which funds service to underserved airports. In
addition there are local facility charges (capped at $4.50 per leg) that go
directly to the local airport (presumably to use as the "local" portion of
improvements, for example in a 90%/10% local funding for a new runway, etc).
