In Summary......
The US airlines say that it is ok to lose enormous amounts of cash over a 5 to 7 year period, declare bankruptcy, and directly places monetary burden on the taxpayer, other corporations, employees, and the government.
Yet.........
It is not ok for a government to invest heavily in their aviation infrastructure and in some cases (not EK) inject money that comes from the public and corporations within that country to mitigate a bankruptcy issue.
Sounds like a lot of "YA'll should just do it our way or its not right" to me.
