I don't have any problem with airlines adding service to the US if they are abiding by the rules- rules that include not being allowed to receive multi-billion dollar subsidies from their governments.

TP, curious.....did you read the whitepaper from beginning to end that was put out by the US airlines?

I love this country, but man do we have some double standards........

Last I checked, there are no US regional airlines based in an absolute monarchy like Dubai, so they have freedom. Regional pilots have the freedom to pick a different union or to create their own union. If regional pilots feel like they are being treated like step children by the union THEY chose to have on the property, I think they should leave and form a better one.
