Absolutely true Fluke. No expansion to the US under Jet's AOC until the FAA's downgrade has been rescinded.
With the desire of M/E carriers to increase their presence in the US, some are taking a dim view.
There are petitions circulating about in the US regarding the prospects of opening US Immigration Pre-clearance Immigration services in Abu Dhabi.
Many beyond the boarders of Euroland, M/E, and India are not in the know about the partial ownership of 9W by EY, nor their desired increased presence under the guise of 9W. Sort of the old "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing".
