So break off the civilian plane division and kill it off. No reason to hurt all 100,000 employees, just the division that was responsible. It sucks to hear “sheesh I wish there were more competitors” after Boeing just kicked Bombardier in the Crown Jewels for daring to compete with the C-Series, which is only an Airbus product now because Boeing took advantage of the US political system in the first place (a severe miscalculation in retrospect).

Monopolies aren’t capitalist. Monopolies keep putting us in uncomfortable situations like this. There’s a reason we have regulations to keep them from happening (or at least break them apart post facto) even if we choose not to use them.
