The PAC effort is correct in going after the preclearance facility. We are in that together. If we don't fly, we don't need feed. You and I (no matter who you are or I am) have the same network interests here.
The airlines clamoring for the preclearance facility have announced O&D out of JFK and IAD this week. They are going to push EU limits and part of that is having their own US hub, even if it happens to bridge Europe & Asia more than the US. Just as English is the international language of business and the Dollar is the most widely held international currency, US travel documents facilitate a lot of business. Simply put, our Nation should not help alien companies put US workers out of work.
