Airline Protection Bill

[Bdub]

Wow.  This bill finally made it to the floor.  I only introduced two Senates ago.  I wrote this bill in response to another one but could care less if it passes.

I believe that whatever company, either foreign or domestic, should be able to fly domestic routes and any foreign company should be allowed to own any amount of stock in a Airline.

I can your point with the stock but not with the routes issue.  Why should foreign airlines be allowed to operate domestic routes in Atlasia if they wont allow our airlines to do the same.

[Bdub]

But as things stand, it's our airlines which are at a disadvantage here.  It's the fact that Atlasian-owned airlines are prohibited from operating domestic routes in foreign countries, which is the issue here. And that to me is fundamentally wrong

Thats exactly how I feel.  If our airlines were allowed to operate domestic routes in other countries, I would not be opposed to letting that countries airline operate domestic routes in Atlasia.

This bill will:

• Prevent government funds towards airlines in times of national emergency and economic crisis;
• Hurt the public by allowing airlines to terminate air routes without notice;
• Write xenophobia into our law and provoke foreign countries into a protection war;
• Subject companies to arbitrary restrictions due to their ownership and location.

In my opinion, there is nothing salvagable about the bill.

So in real life, you basically dont support the United States aviation industry.
