"We need to have a presence in the Middle East. We need to have a presence in India and other parts of Southeast Asia, which we have been run out," Bastian told CNBC. "By shining a light on the scope of the subsidies and providing transparency, it is going to allow us all to make long-term investment decisions to go into markets knowing that our government is standing behind us."
Thoughts?
Its the most progress we've made on tis issue but I'm still not ready to call this even a moderate win.
Its only Qatar, and obviously their intent is to dilly dally at least 2 more years while growing like crazy. At the end of that, they'll most likely just offer up the same phony denial they already tried only repackaged to say everything fine, move along, nothing to see here. Emirates and Etihad will maybe follow a year or two later starting the same multi year stall tactic process while growing like crazy.
I'd love to be wrong on this, but it looks like we're getting played hard.
