Jimworcs I'm going to take you to task as you are clearly wrong.
The US does allow foreign ownership - LH group owns a percentage of JetBlue for example. There is no decent sized developed country that allows 100% foreign ownership. Lobbying.... not a chance. Like most countries domestic control is seen as critical for economic security and defense -ie troop lift.
The issue in the US is legacy carriers are saddled with long tenured employees with ridiculous union wages.
