The Restoring Open Skies white paper was incredibly detailed and clearly laid out specific examples of the ME carriers breaching the agreement. Basically the current response from Emirates is just that the white paper is not true. Literally that is their rebuttal, just to say the accusations are not true and print out a couple route maps. This has been building for a long time and that is all they have? That right there to me is pretty incriminating to their case. Surely they have something better than that article? They didn't know this was coming? If they knew ALPA was working on this two years ago what have they been doing for the last two years?
Yup, they have something better, and they've been doing it in Washington DC for more than the last two years, it's called,

"Campaign Contributions".
