What's your point? Are you emplying that any of the Arab countries are as civilized and have the same freedoms for all that the West has?

Delta, United and American have addressed this and it is a good time for those guys to come back if they choose to do so. I would venture to say that you will be in a good spot if one decided to come from the 3 subsidized ME carriers to US legacy carriers right now.

Revoke Open Skies agreement now. They have cheated the system and it will be proven they have gained an unfair advantage with State monies. They can have their sandbox and the 3 cites in the M.E.

Don't revoke the agreements. Make them true equal open skies. We fly 2 passenger flights a day to their "country" they can fly two (same sized plane) flights to ours. Fair and square. And immediately pull the MXP-JFK flight and ban any other nonsense like that. They can't weasel in on agreements with the EU just by buying routes that were only meant to be flown by EU open skies airlines. Oh and instantly cut their Bank of Boeing subsidy, tarrif their EU Bank of Airbus subsidies if they keep getting them and if they try and "retaliate" like they did with the Canadians for showing them some backbone, pull the 5th fleet immediately, or perhaps send them a padded bill for the service of defending their little "kingdoms"

And its time to close the tax loophole for expat pilots to the ME3. Those airlines are incredibly hostile to our country, its workers and our industry in a way that few if any who'se workers using that loophole have ever been. That expat loophole is one of their biggest recruitment tools by far. They need pilots, they can pay the taxes for them. Of course that would be income too, which would also be taxed. They are a massive foreign enemy of US business and employees. The least we can do is stop subsidising their planes and giving their pilots the equivalent of a huge yearly bonus to come back and destroy and transfer our industry to them.

Then immediately the Japanese government forces all DAL and UAL 5th freedom flying out of NRT to stop. The Chinese government shuts down FedEx's Guangzhou hub; the German government shuts down all 5th freedom flying from Cologne.

Ten years later SF Express of Shenzhen has taken over all UPS and FedEx package flying worldwide. FedEx flight operations is half it's current size. UPS has also reduced their international flying to only to/from USA.

Brilliant Gloopy, pure brilliance!!

And, BA can only fly to two cities in the US to match US carriers two cities in the UK. Same for LH and so on.
