I am literally speechless. Do you think US carriers or UA will take this deal? Thoughts?

This is absurd, arbitrary and unreasonable.

Besides China has 7 carriers vs 2 for US (DL/UA). So it’s 7:2, not to mention charter flights by China.

I urge DOT to reject Chinese proposal. Chinese are playing unfair games.
