Thanks for posting that weasil.

I have never been able to get it clear just how the implications of an "open skies" agreement would affect me!

Since such innocuous sounding international political agreements on trade issues are usually of primary benefit to someone other than myself, I am understandably skeptical about the ramifications and motives of any such agreement or treaty. I guess I should learn more about this one so I may be more conversent on the subject. The difficulty seems to be in sorting through the rhetoric and disinformation promulgated by those on both sides of the issue. Is there a draft of the proposed agreement along with some kind of relatively objective analysis of the implications that you know of?

In any case, it appears to be a dormant issue for the time being. Congress appears to have reached a standstill on most things at the moment.

Best regards,

Westhawk
