This is why you are on the other and wrong side of the argrument Contacted!
There is a reason we have governments. Every country competes for the global Aviation business. Thats right COMPETES. Every country has a right to what degree it accepts free trade, due to the unilateral differences between countries. Different countries and thereby different economies will not always be able to compete equally or fairly than the other. This is why we have borders, and duties and taxes.
This is why your quoted paper said "gradually". As markets become LINEAR, then barriers can be dropped.
Your idea of free market nirvana does not exist, nor is it practical in the real world.
Perhaps we should drop the borders so the people can cross them without restrictions?? For what reason do we have "restrictions" at borders? ...... ???? Right! Now your getting it...for the same reasons.
Im sorry your working so hard, maybe thats part of the problem from where your working. You need better labor protections! But didnt' you know that before you signed up? This is part of the imbalance. Part of why Emirates has a cost advantage.
You know the Chinese work even harder than you. In your market nirvana, they would eventually replace even you guys if they were allowed the access you want to Canada, into the UAE. Food for thought.
