One specific example of antitrust that wasn't handled properly was the Bombardier C Series and Boeing petitioning it for dumping. It resulted in one fewer competitor in the market because it forced Bombardier to sell the plane to Airbus.
I think that there will/can be competitors that spring out from the lower end. The trick is to prevent the oligopolists/monopolists from squashing them through manipulation of the legal system or other underhanded tactics.

They probably were dumping. I don't see how anti-trust applies here. The CSeries is a fascinating story with so many twists and turns - almost unbelievable if it was a fiction novel! The CSeries probably did not have a viable marketing and support story against Boeing. If you want to get wound up, then the Boeing/Embraer Civil lashup is truly anti-competitive.
