Tell me European airlines of comperable size to PANAM, EASTERN, MIDWAY, TWA and BRANIFF that are not in existance in a similar time frame?

European airlines are FAR more subsidized than US airlines that have to pay health insurance and retirement costs for their employees far above what a European airline would have to pay because of the Nanny state.

Then of course you have the direct cash gifts to European airlines that DWARFS anything that goes on in America

Deisel 8, You forgot Olympic airways. Just got another round of grants.
