Meh. To that same point though, Boeing's net profit margin is only around 10%. Of course, 10% is pretty typical of any company, and doesn't seem to be any kind of huge amount coming from duopoly power. Compare to Visa, which has more like a 50% profit margin. ...But even if you considered all of that 10% profit margin comes from the powers the duopoloy affords them, then that's only 2% of airline costs (10% Boeing profit * 20% of airline cost).
