Here's the thing ... if ORD-China were such a good idea, UA could do it since they are one of the carriers that already have rights to fly to China (do they serve that market already)?

Echoing a theme of "More travel, more trade, more opportunity," American Airlines today filed additional comments to the US DOT in support of its application for flights to China.

Quote: Just another way to increase our trade deficit.
I just can't help myself to jump in here even though not related to passenger travel or FF programs, but the stament above is not accurate at all. 17 tons of cargo/flight. Do planes only fly one direction? It seems one would have to look at the relative value of the trade going in both directions. I think this shipping opportunity for US companies could be a great advantage especially if permanent normal trade relations with China is passed. China has made some very big concessions and is a great largely untapped market of a very large percentage of the worlds population. OK--i'm jumping off my soapbox now back to FF discussions. Thanks for induldging me
