In this case; Delta, American, United can start service to Abu Dhabi and their passengers would benefit from those facilities just as well as Etihad’s passengers.
When is ALPA going to start a Take-Action campaign on the RLA? Or a national seniority list? Then I'll get involved and send emails to my representatives. This issue hardly warrants an all pilot action. There are bigger fish to fry.
