ExIm, lying countries that subsidize their national carriers, and our government that couldn't care less if US airlines go out of business.

ATL-BOS-DXB-BKK Round trip on JBLU (and jihad airlines) $800 round trip. (allegedly) JBLU isn't on our side either.

ME3 trashing routes...easy to do when profits are NOT an issue. Our .gov allows it to happen here. At least Boeing is happy.

They could have asked CAL that (for the 10 years before we ordered them.)

Trump has been in office two months, and Fiigmo is blaming him for ME3.
Didn't Obama approve AND fund a preclearance facility in the UAE to assist the ME3 carriers?

I thought that was started under Bush and finished under Obama.

Airline industry groups in both the U.S. and Europe lined up in opposition when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CBP’s parent organization, revealed its plan to open the Abu Dhabi facility in early 2013.

Abu Dhabi Preclearance Facility Marks One Million Passengers | Air Transport News: Aviation International News
In December 2011, the government of Abu Dhabi signed a letter of intent to construct a terminal that, when opened, would house a U.S. border preclearance facility.

The agreement originally was discussed earlier as payback for cooperation in the Gulf after Saudi Arabia refused troops during the Bush(W) war years.

Yup.

Someone needs to keep a log of the "official" plans.

Also; why plan when you can react?
