The US flies to China. The UAE flies to the USA. China flies to the USA. USA flies to the UAE.

So Your point is... ?

If you want to break it down and start looking at who buys what you might as well just look at where the GDP of each country goes.

My point: The US buys alot more from China than China of the US.

Same for US/UAE.

This is not forced buying. You get that... you are selling the oil. YOU are benefiting from selling your oil. You cannot say, that because the US buys oil, then you must get landing slots, because guess what, the fair trade already occured. You set the price for the oil, and the US paid it. One asset for another.

If your trying to equate fairness and balance in terms of buying aircraft, and that having some relation to entitled landing slots, im sorry, you cannot sell me that argument intelligently.
