IIRC some of the Arab airliners are being heavily subsidized by their governments thus creating unfair advantage. Pretty sure Emirates and Qatari Air are both being subsidized by their governments in order to take market share.

This is true but US carriers aren't flying direct from the Mideast to Dulles/JFK though.

Plus, :mjpls: first class on those airliners are :blessed:

Its not about them being owned by their governments. Its about unfair subsidy that puts our airliners out of business.
