Regarding the foreign airlines, I have an honest question. If the average big international carrier has better pay, better progression, better benefits, and more of a drastic need for pilots, what would happen if foreign ownership restrictions are relaxed? I read ALPA's piece on it already. However, aren't Singapore, JAL, Asiana, Emirates etc ALREADY under foreign ownership? Meaning, most of us would be happy to have their progression, payscales, etc "imposed" on us. I would think the foreign pilots would be the ones concerned about it, if they do indeed have it that much better than us. Aren't they worried about Delta becoming the underpaid, overworked regional airline, existing to use our cheap labor to fill their 777s and 787s?

-a foreign owner/government may not be compelled to honor our labor laws/contracts
-a foreign owner/government may dismantle our operations and replace it with cheaper labor, crappy mx, etc
-national security is considerably impacted as our CRAF response would be dictated by a foreign owner/government
This is scary stuff and has nothing to do with ALPA or dues money.
