There are just so many reasons why this won't happen, beginning with where these airlines are operated from. Remember 9/11? I'm sure you do as does every other American. Do you honestly believe Americans are going to fly domestically around the US on an airline named Emirates? How about Ehilad? Come on, most people don't even know how to pronounce that one. Their obvious association with the Middle
East will make it a dealer breaker, no doubt about it.
Now put a different paint job on it, register it in the US, but ownership by way of some overseas entity and I see that as a possibility. Even poaching International flying like New York-London is going to require the behind the door political intrigue that some here fear. Support your unions PAC. If your union doesn't lobby congress, or you don't work for a unionized airline, rattle your own sword with your congressional delegation.
