Those numbers are not exact, but I'll betcha they are pretty close. But it's like everything in DC, once it is set in stone, it never changes. So hopefully we can prove the me airlines are cheating and get them thrown out.
Actually, the only groups that are endangering U.S. airline workers are their own unions and the managers of those airlines who do not see that the 4-5 billion people outside of the USA and Western Europe need airline service. If they would think creatively and be a little more bold, instead of scared, then they may actually devise plans and strategies that could capture some of the revenue available from the 4-5 billion people they are not currently serving. You know, the ones that EK, EY, and QR among others are trying to serve.
