@ BBFive.
You are wrong. It is impossible for a European company to take cargo from let's say JFK to LAX. And that is because of protectionism on behalve of the usa.
And second, I would say about 350+ who are working for or EAT or DHL UK which are both completely owned by DHL
And by the way, when DHL was operating in the states, they were still employing americans.
It is just abnormal that fedex & ups are flying in europe with N-registered a/c & faa-crews. If the european union would get the same laws about cabotage as the states has , this would not be possible! Unfortunately the european union does not have the power yet to impose such laws. As here , those usa operators make agreements with individual contries.
There is an open-skies agreement in europe. but not in the states.
