Does that mean that those against clearing in OMAA should insist that clearing in Ireland, Canada, and Bermuda should be terminated too?


I would bet that if t deal were to go through, there would be allowances by the UAD for US carriers to operate on routes that Etihad does to level the playing field.

But come on folks... Compare the quality of service on US carriers vs Foreign carries. What the advantage for a fare paying customer spending good money for crappy service, and crappy food and grog doled out by employees with crappy attitudes obvious to the casual observer? You recently check the interiors and amenities offered by US carriers vs carriers servicing the Middle East?
