Its not a dig against international at all. Just that the stereotypes about phenomenal productivity are greatly exaggerated. Now if your main point is that UAL/AA offer more higher paying opportunities while we flounder to outsource what even our outsourcing competitors are able to do themselves, well then you absolutely have a point.
We'll have to discuss this over a few adult beverages, stay frosty.
