The Financial Times ran an article (free access) yesterday based on an interview with ALPA's President:

'The largest US pilots' union has dismissed European Union demands for greater access to the US market as a "red herring" aimed at extracting concessions from the US in negotiations on liberalising the transatlantic aviation market.

"I can see nothing but downside from additional competition," said Mr Woerth. "[though]... Consumers may benefit"

"We are a little worried about things being established that provide replacement workers, or US carriers hiring out . . .pretty cheap labour." '

Hope this is interesting.
