The NAI CEO is now saying expansion to the U.S. would enable affordable connections from Asia to the U.S. through Europe (I guess LGW or DUB). He also mentioned new flights to non-HUB US cities like Memphis, New Orleans and maybe Rockford. Given these plans, many more Dreamliners would need to be ordered and more U.S. crews (maybe pilots????) would need to be hired. The CEO is clearly suggesting that U.S. manufacturing jobs and direct links to non-hubs (boosting tourism) would be positively impacted. The argument against this expansion may be getting more challenging given the consumer benefit from lower fares and the potential for boosted jobs and tourism....
