Yes, it is clearly ridiculous for Airbus to claim the US government was not allowing Airbus to compete for US government contracts even after several people (including executives at Boeing) have done jail time and are convicted for doing exactly that.

You are aware that the original tanker deal resulted in convictions and jail time for corruption, right? Such corruption that prevented Airbus from landing US government contracts, right? You don't seem to have read my post.

Criminal activity by Boeing execs isn't a subsidy by any stretch of the imagination.

When are Airbus execs going to be jailed for receiving subsidies? oh, nm those actually got legislated.
