VA at least orders planes and competes reasonably. They operate far more above board than ME3, which are babies of their respective oil rich governments. While "S"RB and his fortune plays a role, his entire net worth is a joke compared to the ME3 fiefdoms. ME3 have more planes on order than we have planes. And they're not all coming to fly Chinese bubble market investors to and from their ghost cites to all points in the third world. They are coming to take our existing flying while we provide their regional defense, pay them to take our airplanes and subsidize their assault on our piloting profession through our tax code.
