Cabotage is coming......

[Capi_Cafre']

Believe it.

Cabotage is the carriage of passengers between 2 points within a country by a carrier from another country. Nothing in that article indicated that Mexican trucks will be able to cross the border, pick up a load and carry it to another point within the U.S.. It seemed to me that the current arrangement is that when transporting goods from Mexico, they now have to hand them off to an American truck either at the border or shortly thereafter. That would be the equivalent of BA or LH stopping at the closest airport once they get into U.S. airspace and then having to transfer their passengers to a U.S. carrier. The proposal is to allow them to carry the goods to their final destination within the U.S..

Now those opposed may have a valid argument when it comes to safety and environmental impact. In aviation, while not entirely binding, there is an international framework dealing with regulation and safety. I do not know if something similar exists for the trucking industry.

Overall, Chicken Little is alive and well.

How about GWB's Super Nafta Highway.....??

 

[MrSky]

The NAFTA Highway opens up Officially over Labor Day Weekend.. Can you believe that BS. Mexican Crap-Ola Trucks (and probably under or no insurance either), driven by Mexican, Low Paid, Under trained and Crappy Truck Drivers. This should be interesting.

There already is cabotage through Anchorage for air cargo.

it's getting warm

capisce?

 

[EMBpilot]

Interesting.
Does anyone know what kind of restrictions does British Airways have to fly London-IAH-ORD-London?

They can't advertise IAH-ORD in the US or something?

 

[Brett Hull]

Anyone who gets on in IAH can't get off in ORD.

Much like Qantas does Sydney - LAX - JFK - LAX - Sydney. They can't pick anyone up in LAX and drop them in JFK, and if you get on at JFK you're going all the way to Sydney.

 

[Double Shot]

Virgin America is basically the start. Just give them a couple of years to align all of their flights with Virgin.

You beat me to it.

Really??!!

I think you might be confusing cabotage with a tech stop

 

[PHXFLYR]

Nope. Air China flys cargo between ANC and JFK. They also operate from DFW to BNA (?) carrying Dell computers back and forth. Talked with one of their crews in the hotel at DFW early this summer . Captain was a Canadian ex-pat who lived in L.A.

Actually Clinton pushed this POS. GWB just decided to finish it.

The camels nose is already under the tent.....

It was determined on CapHill.....

Do you back the PAC?

 

[Mikes Apartment]

Believe it.

Let me guess, you fly for Aero California? You need to dream on and get your application in at Azteca. It will take many years and at least one nuclear war before Mexican Airlines fly intra-US. Now, go back to your nachos.

We can thank the "honorable" Ted Stevens for that one.

QUIT VOTING FOR THESE IDIOTS!! They don't have your best interest in mind.

The few that do get voted out, the replacements aren't any better. We're playing against a stacked deck.

Funny stuff. Who is this guy?

Yes we can. Did my ice cold little heart good to see him come under investigation a few months ago for taking kickbacks from a contractor who remodeled his summer home up there. Hope they nail him.
