You would have the same position regardless. That's how I saw it and you can type up anything you want to counter argue what I just posted but in the end it would be futile as you see the political view only and see it as a failure of your political system while I think the move is probably good not a victory of you political system but just a good move. I also believe that your country dignitaries should not travel commercial.
Updating two planes at request of those who have made their recommendation, I see no issue with.
Tacking on 6 extra planes to that request for couple hundred million more when that money could be far better used in other ventures, I do have a problem with.
Thats the bottom line to this discussion.
