So basically, Boeing loves loves the EX-IM (they get 80% of the EX-IM money) because it helps them sell airplanes to foreign carriers cheaply, many of whom have no competition at home and are government "supported".
Delta and ALPA don't like the EX-IM because those cheap WB planes are then turned around and flown to the U.S. undercutting Delta's international service.
So we want more WB flying here but constantly have to give way to foreign carriers flying in 773s with "awesome service" for less, amirite?
Obama (years ago) called it corporate welfare, Rand Paul says "I don't think taxpayer-subsidized loans should go to profitable companies", Anderson doesn't like it, Moak says it harms U.S. airlines and their workers, Tsquare doesn't like it and FTB doesn't like it.
I mean Tsquare + FTB, get the hell out of the way people.
Now if Boeing is going to go out of the airline business over this, and RA is pushing for this to apply only to WBs btw, then Boeing truly is a ship without a rudder. But I'm open to hearing the other side of this.

Airbus Buys German Bank for In-House Finance Unit
And you think this has NOTHING to do with the recent WTO ruling? Ya, right!
Congress should wake up and assert itself in favor of American businesses.

You can also try and pickup a high time turn and drop it. Using it to cover a reserve day is not nearly as cost effective.

If senior enough, you can drop a one-day trip...and then WS it back.

Interesting chart from Bombardier's C Series Update. Wonder what the distribution curve looks like for Delta, inclusive of DCI?
C-Series quoted range is 3,950NM. That would be capable of any domestic mission without exception.
