Yeah, they've been banging that drum for a while. It's more than a little disingenuous.

Their big complaint about Emirates for example is that the UAE has no unionised labour, which means lower labour costs and ground handling fees, and apparently that's a subsidy.
The airline industry everywhere is rife with protection and patronage, and pretty much everyone tries to keep their own walls up and lob stones at everyone else's.
