I did not miss the point, I too believe the playing field should be level. I just don't think the arguments are tight. Sure the owner of AA is a shrewed businessman, and probably would use any advantage presented to him, but I cannot see the Danish Goverment participate in any kind of "schemes"......

I have never flown a UN contract (except extensions) that was merely one-year contracts, has anyone ?? Maybe a start-up mission, I don't know.......

If there is anything to this at all, I would speculate that it might be more along the lines of the "buy-back" philosophy. Ie. the danish authorities/government tags a UN contribution with a danish label on it. I mean - I have never driven a UN car that was not made in Japan.......

Whether this practice exists or is fair or not, I really do not know.
