What you seem to be missing is this: when we ALL had the opportunity to bid to ANY base...I didn't have a problem. With the stroke of a pen, DL restricted all of us (except the Canadians apparently) to ONLY the base area from which we are citizens. Because of THAT, I am incensed by the attempt by the company to go the extra mile to help lock out most of our base to citizens of another country, especially when most of them will continue to live and commute back to Canada. If you can't figure our why this is such a travesty, I can't be bothered to explain it to you further. Time will tell how this all plays out, but do you really expect most of the Americans to sit by and watch this happen without a fight?
