Awww, come on now. I didn’t say I was worried about them. I just don’t know which is the one trying to pull off the whole flag of convenience shenanigans. Turns out neither of the call signs I heard was NAI.
If you live and work for the North American aviation industry, which I don’t think you do, you can’t think the playing field is exactly level when an airline like Emirates, Etihad, Qatari, and now NAI etc. etc. can fly to any US city they want, and all the U.S. airlines get in return, is the option to fly to the one city those airlines fly from to compete with them. Do you? You think that was the intent of the open skies agreement with the EU or Asia?
I’m not too worried about my future, but I’m also sure the playing field will also start slanting towards the lowest bidder. But it’s always been that way. I just feel sorry for everyone just getting hired now, if some people aren’t willing to call a spade a spade, it’s going to continue to get worse. Enjoy flying upside down.
