Airline passengers subsidizing private aviation

It's a hidden subsidy.

Everybody knows it.

It's something that Europeans would desperately like to believe.

Airbus made a complaint and dropped it so as to make the US drop its
complaint.

Or because the U.S. found out about its own method of getting contracts
through bribes?

Making civil aircraft is an expensive business that has a lot more to do
with maintaining high technology industries and hanging onto high paid
jobs
than profits.

At Airbus, it's all politics, with aviation as a cover.

Stop trying to pretend Boeing are clean, they're just as crooked as
everyone else.

What makes you think that everyone is crooked? There are honest people in
the
world, even if they aren't often in charge of European governments or
corporations.

Oh dear.

In the past five years half the board of Boeing has had to resign because
they were crooks who got caught trying to cheat the US government.

A billion dollars of contracts was stripped from Boeing because they were
caught spying on Lockheed.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
