I'd say you have a nice cup of shut the fuck up before talking about places where you never been and don't know jack shit about.

The U.S. for one, did not attempt to conquer the world in 1939.

Just out of curiosity, how many large German owned airlines are there? I'm betting that if there were one American owned airline instead of several large ones (like Continental, American, United, Delta and Southwest( that the one would be vastly larger than Lufthansa. I'm not knocking Lufthansa, just saying that when there isn't ANY competition it's probably not such a big deal to be the world's largest. I'd be willing to bet large cheese that the total of U.S. airlines is well more than the total of German airlines.

and you're comparing a country the size of a US State. US is a way bigger market for your airlines, Lufthansa is what KLM is for Holland, Air France is for France, BA is for Britain,

we all got 1 major airline. (some western European countries ) comparing of the US to 1 European Country is irrelevant...

with this kind of stuff it should be EU vs US, I mean like The Netherlands has the population of what? metropolitan area of LA?

about Airfrance-KLM they have:

"
Air France (including Régional and Brit Air)
KLM (including KLM Cityhopper)
Transavia.com .
CityJet
VLM Airlines

Air France-KLM also partially owns several other airlines. These include:

Martinair (50 percent share)
Kenya Airways (26 percent share)
Alitalia (2 percent share)
" (from wikipedia)

"
The fleet of Air France-KLM includes the fleets of its subsidiaries, the fleet of Air France (257), and the fleet of KLM (103). Furthermore the fleets of Régional (63), Brit Air (44), KLM Cityhopper (55), CityJet (35), and Transavia.com (32) are fully part of the company. The total number of planes in the fleet is 589 as of January 1 2008.
"

also they had some stuff going on with KLM - Northwest Airlines, not sure what remains from that after it became Airfrance - KLM.
