I couldn't care less about open skies, chapter 11, historical imbalances between Europe and the USA, or anything else
If this is the case, why care so much about WHO flies the shiny jets anywhere in the world?
Surely more new jets sold equates to increased employment globally in the supply chain and maintenance divisions as well? It's not just pilots and cabin crew who get to operate the final product.
The US is negatively impacting aviation, by enforcing rules upon others they not wish to enforce upon themselves, similarly Chapter 11 is the biggest "help" any US company can get to restructure, where in the rest of the world those affected companies would be closed and employment for those involved ceased, the US government offer a way out. This type of benefit cannot be underestimated! Most US carriers would have folded in days gone by had it not been for the Chapter 11 possibility, instead they restructured and started again, time and time again in history...
Before bashing at international carriers and their respective governments (US/EU/UAE), let us play open level playing field and get rid of all state aid, for all carriers, allow all carriers to operate all routes and see who remains standing when the choice is to the consumer, without Chapter 11 assistance and so forth...
