If you have ever bought jet fuel in Europe you know that it is generally
cheaper than in the US. It is only Avgas that is more expensive over there.
Additionally, airlines on both sides of the Atlantic are not paying FBO
prices which are usually marked up about $1 or more.

You may be paying 3x more for fuel in Europe than in the US but European
airlines are not.


Care to elaborate on that?


Is it some new type of math the US airlines are using or have they
become
bloated Politically Correct business model disasters due to PC hiring
practices and employee perks?

Or are they looking for a tax payer bailout for their inefficient
business
operations?

Just curious
