I am not making any counter arguments. I totally understand what NAI are doing and to be honest as a consumer I am fine with it, as are most consumers.(especially the folks who have to pay EI ~$1000 for a direct return trip to SNN during the summer season)
And yes I understand your viewpoint especially with respect to folks in the industry that feel threatened by this. However this is the world we live in today. Those kind of considerations will not even be looked at by the DAA, politicians etc.(be it right or wrong)
Look you clearly have your personal feelings on this and I respect that but your posts on this topic are based on what you want to happen and not actually what is going to happen. There is a big difference.
