On a world stage of course it's unfair, grossly unfair. It also appears to be distorting the domestic market in the USA, although I'm not convinced that the non-Chapter 11 majors will be complaining too loudly, they never know when they might need that protection. Perhaps one of our US based contributors would care to comment? Still, the EU are looking at imposing fines on non-EU operators receiving unfair government assistance (i.e. Swiss and most US majors). If that comes to pass we'll really here some squealing.
