What "subsidy".

The FAA and the air traffic control system.


ATC could easily be privatized (like Canada), as could TSA (it used to
be).


Sure it could, and then the airlines would go broke without the subsidy.

That is nothing more than governmental creep.

If the airlines had to pay back every dime of the FAA cost of ATC it
would be about $10 a flight per passenger. A private operator would do
it cheaper, no doubt.
