It's bad enough you get subsidies from the emirates, but from the USA to boot? Really?
Huh? I work for a U.S. airline.
And if you don't consider a tax break a subsidy, then all the ME3 have to do to make you happy is give their airlines huge tax breaks that your company won't get ... Like landing fees, for instance?
And you are proving my point, that you cannot argue intelligently about this when you say "it's only chump change." To YOUR airline, maybe, but ask all your company's competitors who don't get that tax break.
