I said this on other threads, the US can't complain about Middle Eastern airlines when they behave exactly the same way with their agriculture.

Billions of $$ in subsidies, protected markets, labour laws favouring the employer and products dumped in other markets at below cost price driving out the competition.

It's good and wholesome for their farmers to have unfair advantages but when US airlines can't compete against foreign competition it's so unreasonable.

They can't really complain when most US airlines are around 50 and below in the Skytrax rankings for 2014.

The ME 3 have a better product and consumers are voting with their wallets, that's free choice and competition. Possibly unfair competition but see if anyone cares.
