Rumor: Emirates Airline To Buy A Controlling Stake In Qatar Airways - One Mile at a Time
Rumor: Emirates Airline To Buy A Controlling Stake In Qatar Airways - One Mile at a Time
An article in a Washington paper this AM has the US big 3 already on Trumps ear.
I'm sure any New York attorney worth his salt could easily make a case that forcing American consumers to fly long haul on their own airlines would be tantamount to a crime against humanity.

Taken from The Australian (subscribers only, Straight to the point as usual.
RECEIVED 11/11/2016 15:25:22 Emirates, Etihad and Qatar can kiss the USA goodbye. Trump will not continue to have the USA support middle eastern profits at the USA expense.
The international market is vital to recently resurgent U.S. airlines, which have regained profitability after a decade of bankruptcies and mergers. But the companies’ return to solvency comes in an era in which there is little growth in the domestic market and international flights offer a better prospect.
But with Mr Trump — a former airline executive — now set to be the next US president, those US airlines are likely to restart their lobbying efforts to capitalise on his protectionist rhetoric and pledges to bring back jobs to the US.
“We look forward to briefing president-elect Donald Trump and his new administration on the massive, unfair subsidies that the UAE and Qatar give to their state-owned Gulf carriers,”

Haha, PHX, that would be awesome, a desert to desert service! At least AZ is dryer. This could only live on connections, and if successful it would probably reduce BA's flight to a 788, or a switch to AA metal (carbon?).
Yes, I doubt Trump would bother much with Open Skies arrangements, maybe in his second term. Especially if we start seeing Trump Dubai, Trump Abu Dhabi, Trump Doha, and so forth.
It would be great if there was a one-way exodus of the freeloaders, and people who require 'safe spaces', but that is not likely to happen.

Warren Buffet has invested heavily in The Big 3. Does he know something we don't about Trump's plans?
He had vowed to stay out of aviation.
