The threats, hysteria, cheerleading and bribes do not change the fact that the heat is on those ego driven meglomaniacs in a major way.

The first step is slamming the door on them tresspassing into other agreements like EU with MXP-US. While its only one city now, stopping that cancer early will be a huge victory and its looking like it has a good chance.


The next step is cutting off their little Boeing welfare check. That also looks like it has a fairly good chance of happening.

After that we can take a look at the nature of the "open skies" with that tiny "country" and their barely existant relative to demand O&D and hopefully see that for what it is. The incremental selling of our industry to bribers and extortionists. Once the light of day is shined on that plan, a much closer look at using schemes like that to get around labor laws and basic human rights is right around the corner.

Enjoy your shiny super jumbo tax free gig poaching US and EU pax while you can. Oh and speaking of taxes, the US and EU are broke. They will be needing revenue quick and ravenously. While its not a frontburner issue right now, it won't take long. They've been laying the groundwork for years getting their fingers into previously immune banking markets and forcing them to play by their rules. Its only a matter of time. And we'll see how long oil stays low (some think it may go lower if Iran's supplys start coming online and SA starts dumping capacity to punish them for their regional influence) and we're running out of money to keep paying for the regional defense of the emerati.
