...fairly it plays. "The government's share is as big as a 747," says Richard Aboulafia, an industry analyst at the Teal Group, an aviation-consulting firm based in Fairfax, Va. "And it's not transparent. Maybe they're not as efficient as they claim. There is a certain science-fiction quality to their numbers." Geoff Dixon, CEO of Australia's Qantas, says, "Singapore Airlines is a government-owned and -backed carrier that does not have to play by the same rules as other airlines."

This was not a victory by any stretch of the imagination, although certain self-congratulatory members of the UC would have you believe so.
