Coming Together for a Level Playing Field
Our case against the Gulf carriers’ massive subsidization represents a fight for one of our most treasured American ideals: If you work hard and play by the rules, you can get ahead. The shared commitment to a level playing field was front and center at the National Press Club recently when the CEOs of three competing U.S. airlines stood on stage together to discuss how they’re teaming up to fight for American jobs.
Listen to American Airlines CEO Doug Parker, Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson and United Airlines CEO Jeff Smisek discuss everything from why they’ve joined forces to each other’s socks.
And it’s not just the airlines that are teaming up to fight back against the Gulf carrier violations of Open Skies policy – eight employee unions have joined them as well.
