Double edged sword, your argument, isn't it?
Seems that Lee's game plan is working. You think the boogie man is the foreign airlines, not your own union's policies and strategies.
Think how it would affect the U.S. economy if they ( the UAE ) stopped buying American military hardware as well. They are a strong allie to the USA in the Middle East.
A lot of effects that you are probably not aware of here. But Lee counts on that sort of unsophisticated thinking.

Can they have Chapter 11 bankruptcy then? Double edged sword, your argument, isn't it?

Moak should ask the pilots from UAL and DAL if they would like pre-clearance in DXB and DOH. Not to mention the large population of expat and US military families residing in those countries.
While he's at it, he should look at what happened to the Canadian base in Dubai when the government tried to keep EK out of the Canadian market to, appease the Air Canada pilots.
Pull the US forces out of the region? Right, Iran would love that. So would all the "loyal" ALPA pilots as they watched oil prices soar!
Maybe if ALPA had done a better job "protecting the profession" at their own airlines, the Middle East carriers would have had fewer pilots, who lost jobs and pensions, to fuel their incredible growth.
Keep it up TP, your doin' good work!
