Turbine D:
There are two industries, the aircraft industry and the aircraft engine industry. The playing fields for both (in the Western world) were level. The players today in both industries represent the "cream that rose to the top" as the saying goes. . .
It's surprising to me how many people do not recognize the IMMENSE value of competition in the marketplace. Remember when "portable" phones were labeled BRICKS? Not so long ago! The same applies in the aerospace industry - each player seeks to outdo the guy from Long Beach or Montreal. The result is the faster, lighter, cheaper product for the customer. When government comes along to bail out the underperformer, there's no real benefit to the consumer, NOR to his taxes payable next April!
