I don't even know where to begin. Are you really that naive?

You do realize that we are nowhere near pure capitalism, right? Pure capitalism by definition entails zero government regulations, zero barriers to entry.

NIA is a problem precisely because it exists outside of the fair market, outside of our "society," else why would a Norwegian arline need to be based in Ireland?

"Capitalism" requires a level playing field. NIA, mideast carriers, etc certainly aren't playing on a level field. Capitalism is not even remotely involved here.

You want the "market" to decide. But the "market" has nothing to do with the outcome--the winner will be whoever exploits bureaucratic loopholes, or whoever pays the most to have loopholes created or closed. NIA/ME carriers are counting on ignorant rubes to yawn while they wipe us out. So far, so good.
