I think your socialist upbringing (French, right?) ...

Think again. Since you are wrong about this, what else might you be wrong

... the purpose of a company is to provide employement. Just wrong.

Not entirely wrong. I believe that large companies have an obligation to
society in addition to an obligation to their owners. Additionally, those
that behave this way tend to make more money, anyway.

I look forward to the less expensive flights that will eventually come.

Boeing already has very little competition. Airbus barely counts.
