Andy;
This thread is about NAI, and the effort to deny them, and more importantly, their flag of convenience business model.
I don't think anyone disagrees that UAL is poorly run, but that is a different thread.
Philosophically I would like to see our industry safe from globalization. I would also like to be taller, skinnier, smarter, and richer. I hope NAI gets disapproved as long as possible. But I wouldn't spend any money on it, or lose any sleep over it.
Unfortunately, someone else is dealing the cards. We all get to play the hands we are dealt.
