>>><If Boeing bought (or licensed design plans from) Pratt & Whitney and then legislated that all 7x7's be outfitted solely with Boeing engines (or "priced to include" Boeing engines), you can bet the DOJ would be all over them in a heartbeat.>

No othey would not. If boeing dropped the prices of planes across the board the consumer would have benefitted. If they raised priced, the DOJ may have a say, but so would the market by going over to Airbus. <<<

BTW, does it bother you that there is a monopoly in the airliner production business, a cartel in the air transport business, and when an airplane gets in trouble in just tunnels in and crumples up like tissue paper? Has it ever occurred to you that engineers might know how to make these much, much better? Ever wonder why race car drivers can walk away from 200 mph collisions and you die when the plane tunnels in at 150? There isn't much quality, is there?

Have you ever asked if the luggage should become projectiles, if there should be no backup system if the engines fail, if the airframe shouldn't have some strength? Instead of having two more rows of seats to increase profits. Getting tired of being sprayed with insecticide on international flights (if you knew)? Catching the flu from recirculated air? (saves money)

Like the food?

Yeah, monopolies are great.

Happy Flying,
