I would rather fly on an older DC9 that is well maintained by US based mechanics than fly on a newer A320 maintained at some overseas maintenance shope with perhaps 20 pseudo mechanics supervized by one real mechanic.
A friend was an intern mechanic at jet blue and they don't have a lot of capacity to fix things...and when the warranty runs out...watch out for costs.
NorthWest spent 6 million per plane on its DC9 fleet to upgrade them a few years ago.
And a dusty uninviting toilet? I've never been on any airliner (perhaps trump shuttle) where the toilet was inviting.
Allow european airlines to fly domestic US runs? HA.
Every complaint mentioned would have been taken care of by the old CAB...reregulate now~!
