"And people say only Airbus is government subsidized..."

Airbus exists because of subsidies.
No subsidies, no Airbus.
Its that simple.

BTW, Japanese companies that produce parts for Boeing, like Mitsubishi are highly efficient private companies.

For you to even attempt to compare the rabid Airbus subsidy machine to efficient Japanese firms that produce parts for Boeing, is highly disingenuous.
They are not even close!

Well, after 9-11, Boeing said tehy'd go under if the Feds didn't renegotiate the sale of several planes to the Federal Governemnt.

And the Feds obliged them.

I'm not comparing one to the other, I'm simply saying they're both subsidized.

And this idea that buying Airbus is "Anti-American" is absurd. If an (American) airline chooses to take advantage of a company that takes advantage of foreign taxpayers, then more power to them.
