According to his own website, Iain is twenty years old and a Brit; so...
*Excuse me,* Iain, but as an American who has made his living in the aviation business for 5 years longer than you have been alive, let me bluntly say that what we *don't* need is another inexperienced foreigner telling us what will be good for us all.
We in America have had it up to our collective keisters with globalization (that's "globalisation," to you).
This brave new approach to doing business has lost us millions of jobs and has wrecked entire segments of American industry...chiefly in the manufacturing area.
Globalization has done wonders for the richest among us, but has severely impacted the middle class. If this trend is not reversed, soon we will have only two classes...the rich, and everyone else, who will be living in the same third-world standard.
My friend, if anything will start a revolution in this country, this will be it.
The course of globalization has to be reversed, not endorsed and embraced.
For you to say that the airline industry needs to go down the course that has manifestly been the doom and downfall of other industries before it is sheer lunacy.
This is a forum where all are entitled to share their opinions; however, we should consider their source. I urge everyone whose mind is not made up on this issue to visit Iain's site and decide for yourselves as to his fitness to make the bold and stirring pronouncements he has posted.
Personally, Iain, I just think you are spouting things you have heard from your redder-than-hell public school teachers.
Have a nice day.
