Foreign airlines are growing at a significant rate, reinvesting earnings in their product and expanding their global presence at the expense of U.S. airlines, with troubling implications for the entire U.S. economy, the group says."
Seems our beloved CEO is talking out both sides of his mouth!! Maybe he didn't actually say this, but he is the chairman of the board. How can the association with which he is chairman put out something like this while continuing to "code share/JV with foreign airlines?!?!?!!!
Good point, but the A4A's new 'Raison d'être' if you will, is to attempt to stop our own government from giving away the store WRT the US air transport industry, and also to attempt to stop our government from developing policies that are detrimental to the home team players.
One would think that such a group would be redundant, after all its OUR government, but considering that Washington has given away virtually everything of value to our economy and completely mismanaged everything else it's been involved with, well, you can see the need.
The A4A is anti labor too, but our government has emerged as by far the biggest threat to our existence...
