It really doesn't matter who wins the ruling. It will be appealed and it will go on and on. And it will be business as usual. Everyone wants something made well but cost next to nothing. Americans can not compete with countries who's labor cost are less than 1/10 of cost to produce it in the US. Remember when WalMart used to run ads stating made in America? Remember it was one of the slogans they used to become the worlds largest retailer. Try to find anything there that is made in the US now. We either accept the fact if you want to buy American it is going to cost more, then stop crying about other countries and their cheap products. American companies that even remotely compete with foreign companies are automated and that machinery isn't cheap also keeping the goods from costing the same. If you didn't buy the cheapest goods on the shelf there wouldn't be shelf after shelf of foreign goods. They would be American made goods instead.
It isn't any politician or any particular country that controls this with the exception of tarriffs on imports, but it is the we the consumer. If you want Boing to be more successful then when you make a reservation ask them who the manufacturer is of the aircraft of the flights you desire and specifically ask for a flight on an American made aircraft. Then live with any cost differences. If it became a large enough segment of the the US flying public I am certain all US airlines would buy only US made aircraft.
