That is your opinion and nothing more. It may be shared by others, but is nonetheless opinion. And I've amply demonstrated you will bend over backwards to protect your precious from any hint of criticism.
So, are you saying NAFTA was also Bush's fault?

Given how awful their 787 contract looks, the 737 contract will be regional worthy at best.

We need to talk a long hard look at why we are not competitive and if you ever have flown a non US carrier you will know why.

Frankly I'm often embarrassed.
US airlines are terrible in comparison to most others. My last international trip on United featured an aircraft with a broken in flight entertainment system, no wifi, and mis-wired overhead lights so when I pressed my reading light, the light five rows ahead of me turned on, and when the people five rows ahead of me pressed the call button, it looked like I did. That was a fun flight, could not even read my book. My last flight on an old, worn out, Air China 747 combi was better than United. I have avoided a US airline for international trips for four years now.

Awful compared to what? Compared to other jobs currently available in Europe? Have you applied to jobs in Europe to see what the terms and conditions are?

They are competing for candidates in the US in case you forgot.

And if they are not competitive with their compensation, they will not get any candidates.

Where are they going to find enough scumbags to staff their model though?
