Then there is the whole Narita hub for both DAL and UAL. So that is kind of like "revenue generated in Switzerland", isn't it.
Again, when you debate against this get some facts straight so that you don't look like fools.
Is NAI a threat? Sure it is, but the fear mongering simplistic arguments that are being made against it by the pilots in the USA are not going to sway lawmakers. ALPA has done a slightly better job than what I read on here, but they're still coming up short on valid reasons to deny NAI.

Flag of convenience is the business practice of registering a merchant ship in a sovereign state different from that of the ship's owners, and flying that state's civil ensign on the ship. Ships are registered under flags of convenience to reduce operating costs or avoid the regulations of the owner's country.
Just Google "maritime industry flag of convenience". See what can happen.
