Are all of the hondas, toyotas, bmw. mercedes etc built in america built by foreigners?
The comparison to the cruise ships is retarded. all their ships are flagged in foreign countries. The airlines can already do that (TACA) but they still operate with crews from their own country.
TWA, PanAM, United etc all use to operate in europe with 727 and other aircraft, none of the european countries complained, neither did alpa. all of their pilots were american. why did they just use so albanians? would have been much cheaper.
Ironic, seeing as how all the foreign car makes you listed, ship their profits back over seas, while at the same time stifling unionized labor in their factories and paying less than their American counterparts.
