" If Boeing won it as suggested that virtually 'dumping' in trade terms and thats supposedly not allowed."

Please do not confuse commercial trade versus military contracts eg dumping does NOT apply.

And as to subsidy re tankers- its NOT an issue. The 767 has been around since 1981-82. The basic airframe was Mil spec certified in the late 1990's. Boeing fubared the 'lease' arrangement for tankers after 911 in 2001-2002.Partly garbaged up the Italian and Japenese tankers in the early 2000's . After assigning the old MDC whiz kids for the current tanker contract to upgrade the wiring from commercial to mil spec- they found out said power point rangers did not know the diffeerence between cvommercial wiring and mil spec requirements- thus causing a major delay- rewiring, etc. None of which was subsidized .
