Why don’t US companies hedge foreign currency risk like airliners lock in ticket prices with oil futures?


I notice alot of US companies reporting blame a strong USD dollar for lower earning from sales abroad. Makes sense but why than don't companies hedge their foreign currency risk on expected earnings with forex futures kinda similar to how airliners use oil futures to lock in ticket prices and protect them from big swings in oil prices? Would that somehow be possible for US companies to do?
