There. Straight off your own keystrokes. Work on it.

The only thing I have done was called out a guy on his blatant hipocrasy.

Got nothing to do with that. It's about WHAT you are looking for and WHERE you are looking for it.

Just another day under witness protection for me. Of course, I weigh 400 pounds and reply to this crap from my bed.

Just looking for something I know I am not going to get: an admission that ALPA has misled its membership and that the anti-Norwegian rhetoric is simply an attempt by ALPA to drum up PAC donations and rally the troops. After ALPA won the union vote at VX, there were no other major airlines of noteable size that had no union representation. The big airlines were reaping in record profits and contracts were improving across the board. The FAA instituted new rest and duty requirements that were beneficial to pilots, and increased the requirements for airline pilots. ALPA had no big fish to fry and needed a boogeyman. Norwegian was simply a convenient enemy. ALPA could put out a scary sounding video, full of wrong information, and sit back and watch the donations pour in. I will admit, it was a smart strategy because clearly so many folks on here have bought the snake oil sales pitch. Everyone is still anti-Norwegian, but none of you know why other than ALPA says so in their video. I know I will never get an admission of that, but I will continue to call it out.

And yet another person with limited comprehension...

So, let's make this very simple so perhaps you might be able to comprehend: I do not live in the United States. I do not wish to move back to the United States. When I did live in the United States, I DID work for a major airline. So please, try again if you are going to attempt an insult, because you really have just insulted yourself. Unless of course you are proud of the fact that you struggle to obtain 2nd grade level reading comprehension.

I'll say it...NEDude, you're 100% right.

Norwegian's bad; Norwegian must be stopped; The ME3 are bad; the ME3 must be stopped.

Okay now that we have you distracted with a massive campaign against foreign entities that you have no control over, let's go ahead and ink some deals with our alliance partners so that all future international growth will go to them

China Eastern Airlines will base 150 to 200 aircraft at the upcoming Beijing Daxing airport, as it attempts to get a slice of the lucrative market out of China's capital.

The SkyTeam carrier says it will connect to the US, Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, and North Asia from the airport, bringing new connectivity to its existing network.

China Eastern is investing CNY13.2 billion ($1.94 billion) in the new airport, with construction of its base already underway.

It will be an anchor operator of the facility, alongside China Southern Airlines (yet another SkyTeam carrier). The carrier is targeting a 40% share of the new airport's traffic, which would amount to more than 30 million passengers.

FlightGlobal schedules data shows that Shanghai-based China Eastern does not have any direct long-haul services out of Beijing. Its direct services from the city are largely domestic, but it also connects to destinations in Japan and Vietnam, as well as to Saipan and Denpasar.

Daxing airport is targeted to start operations in 2019, and will have the capacity to handle 72 million passengers by 2025.

Star Alliance carrier Air China and its subsidiaries will remains at the existing Beijing Capital International airport.

Camp out here long enough, one becomes well acquainted with B cluster, narcissistic personality episodes of all varieties. But every good story requires its antagonist. If Dude's foil narrative draws attention to the visa slight of hand NAI is using to hire any pilot from anywhere to staff any cockpit from anywhere, he's earned his keep IMHO.
