While most posts here are short-range about contracts, CEOs, and bids, I'd ask that if you are concerned about the ME3, then take 3 minutes to log on to ALPA and send the form letter for the POTUS to enforce Open Skies.

Pretty easy, and their form-letter is better than their usual tome.

International politics and finance aren't my strong suit, but I think this is a real long-term threat that makes our tactical concerns mere distractions from the real show, and of no lasting consequence.
