The three carriers’ routes to the U.S. have not meaningfully increased passenger traffic; they only serve to displace U.S. airline market share and shift good U.S. aviation jobs overseas. In fact, every lost international roundtrip route by U.S. carriers because of this subsidized competition equals a net loss of more than 800 U.S. jobs.
I'm not an apologist for the ME3, but the above argument is absurd! The 3 US carriers have no meaningful routes in competition with the ME3. At best it can be construed that they're out to protect their European/Asian codeshare partners, and their routes to those connections. Chapter 11 did a fair amount of damage to European airlines post 9/11 - the Ch.11 issue has been convienintly ignored.
