Did not Boeing get a second opportunity to bid on air refueling tankers after losing to Airbus. Don't try to make out that big ticket items with major consequences for local economies don't get government interference. If you think there is a free market out there you are very naïve. When Boeing sets up an assembly operation you don't think they get tax breaks and incentives? US military contractors are even worse constantly being pork barreled.
