You cant have it both ways. Either ban all 'barbarians' or let free market rule.

BINGO. Sorry, but whats best for AC, and pads the pockets of their management, is not best for me - and I would dare to say, not best for the country either. Let the market decide.
And if one feels that people would not fly an airline run by 'barbarians' - then we have nothing to worry about, QR will retreat quickly with their tail between their legs.
