And that's the main reason, the US airline industry is suffering and offers those lousy products to its customers. Since there's no money being invested from overseas, no concolidation and investing takes place. I try to avoid any US airline on my regular transatlantic flights, due to their lousy quality.

Have you ever flown with Emirates, Thai, Singapore Airlines,... ? Compare the quality with any US airline of your choice. It's like a Mercedes vs. a Chevy Aveo.
