Boeing has massive lobbying influence to keep the subsidies rolling via Exim thanks to the military industrial complex. AMR is sitting this one out because Boeing is on the creditors committee. UAL is all chummy because Chicago based Boeing is a big corp customer. DL is fighting an uphill battle, but the new board member, former AG for the DOT, will lend some horsepower to the cause. Right now, our own government is our biggest threat to our livelyhood.

I know it's old news but DL has sued Ex-IM bank over this very thing. No help from Uncle Sam on this one.

Moak's patronage is the most powerful force in our association. Musch more powerful than our governing documents or voting members. We are simply along for the ride. Fortunately about 80 percent of what the King does is good.

Not to change the subject but I thought you might get a kick out of this:
I just went to DL Net to check on May bid awards, back door'd it of course, and bingo, a whole bunch of Capt. X's show up!!
So I click on my category and sure enough, there's the May Bid Awards...
for 2012!!
I think someone in the G.O. forgot to push the FLUSH 2012 button. Funny that only the Catp. X's were there, no F/O's, for May 2012!
The good news is, I had a good line in 2012, I doubt May 2013 will be as good, most of our ATL trips have gone away, replaced by DH to everywhere to start and end.

Expanding Ex-Im's Mandate Is A Big Mistake | Cato Institute
Here is good conservative view on the Ex-Im bank, T. It's quite critical of Obama (music to your ears) and the bank's support in Congress.
But if you read through it, it's critical of Obama's desire to use the bank to boost DOMESTIC sales to even out competition from foreign sources, as explained by the President in a speech made at Boeing in Seatte.
If I understand correctly, Obama wants to use the bank to sell Boeing to Delta.
That stupid Obama again, trying to help us and our company do transactions the way Airbus and Lufthansa or Air France work. What a jerk, right T?
