from where you come from 411:
17 billion usd for the ailing us-airlines after 9/11. did others get something? - direct subsidy.
chapter 11, including the right of protected airlines to undercut fares of unprotected competitors, especially non-us.
subsidy to implement the new, unilateraly us-imposed door-locking mechanism regulations for us-airlines. did others get that? - some, however again direct subsidy.
UK:
written off aircraft as a present to BA some years ago ....
France:
look i.e. to how much AF has to pay for it's admin building at Roissy.
etc. etc.
EK's no angel. but don't raise your voices too much, you would look like the pathetic house-speakers of Boeing and Airbus about respective gvt aids.
