Without arguing whether there areas so called subsidies, I think I got it. Your arguments appear to be the amount. Subsidies are ok, like Capter 11 and government charter flights, etc., but just the size of of a so called subsidy. Small ones ok, as long as a subsidy doesn't gouge your ox. Thanks for helping me understand your position better. That old Eastern hangar given to AirTran by the city of ATL, was just a little one, the fifth runway in ATL, just a small one, and terminal F doesn't really help Delta, now does it? Yeah, I did forget, United was much much better off at Stapleton than DIA, for any expansion. But these are all tiny little deals by governments and they don't count, now do they?
