It’s not fair!

There’s been a lot of talk about unfair competition recently. Air France and Lufthansa have been complaining to the European Commission that the Gulf carriers benefit from financial support from their local state and that this gives them an unfair competitive advantage over European carriers. Meanwhile the US carriers have been complaining for months that state subsidies to Gulf carriers contravene the Open Skies agreements between the US and the Gulf states, and that these agreements should be renegotiated to protect US carriers and American workers from unfair competition. Sounds like a bunch of whinging 10-year olds, doesn’t it.
