Yes, and it's incredibly wasteful.

Yup. You can actually buy several European airlines with that kind of money.

For example, you can buy KLM Air france for less than $3B.

It is a profitable business that does $30B in sales and $1B in profit. (and has been profitable since for the past 4-5 years)
