BHR,
Duane WOrthe is ANYTHING but a Bush supporter, and Bush is anything but a friend of ALPA.
Bush is pushing for liberalization of the market because it will allow him to hammer the US unions.
It is the unions (and their democratic supporters) that are opposed to this liberalization.
To the republicans, ALPA is the great satan of all unions.
Slightly different political landscape over hear mate.
Cheers
Wino
