Where do you stand? do you think eu subsidies and soft loans to airbus are fair? why or why not? what advantages does airbus gain from free financial support from the eu governments? are complaints about the eu's government intervention fair in light of europe's long history of democratic socialism?

The advanced ridership that results from EU support of the Airbus stimulates travel revenue as well as the economies through employment and tourism of many of the EU countries and thus benefits all. The advantages gained by Airbus are that less of its revenue must be spent for operations. It seems disingenuous to accuse the EU of unfairness when the Airbus is a service benefiting several diffferent countries.
