Here's what I just sent to my congressman:
Hi, Mr. Bean. I'm writing to you with respect to the US-China air services agreement because I work in China and think the DOT is underperforming on negotiations to get us back to a state that benefits US consumers. My understanding this that the current hang-up is based on the fact that Chinese airlines can overfly Russia, while US airlines can't. The Chinese, justifiably, point out that airlines from India and Middle East countries are also permitted to fly via Russian airspace, so it's hypocritical to put China on the spot. If you introduce legislation that STOPS ALL RUSSIA OVERFLIGHT to/from the US, I'm pretty sure the Chinese will grudgingly accept. Then, the horse trading can continue. The bottom line is that I want to be able to fly between JAX and PVG in a competitive market.
