TonyC,
The Ex-Im Bank subsidizes US union workers like those at GE, Boeing, Caterpiller, it just so happens that airlines take advantage of it.
BTW, yes, the bank should go away as corporate cronyism.

Yup. That's all that needs to be done. Give the US airlines the same rates. The airplanes are proven. What other 2 engine airplane does what the 777-300ER does? Boeing won't have problems selling them if the foreign carriers subsidies are yanked.

I'm paying attention. I understand the premise. And I understand its grotesque corruption when it subsidizes the likes of Emirates. If it were limited to subsidizing purchases from mom-and-pop manufacturers in the US to impoverished business in Africa, I'd be fine with it. But subsidizing Boeing purchases from state-owned behemoths? GMAFB.

Yes, and we all know Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar are in dire need of subsidies. Clearly they wouldn't buy nor be able to afford B777s or B787s without loans for the Ex-Im bank. Let's be real here.

googles/johnso29,
Clearly, you are naive about how Big Government, Bis Business and Big Labor work together to steal from taxpayers. There is no way in he!! those 3 are going to let mom 'n pop businesses benefit from Uncle Sam when they have the money to hire lobbyists to get the government hand-outs. GMAFB. The UAW and the IAM are waaaay bigger in the bucks and influence department than ALPA; DL can't out-weigh Boeing, either
