It's worth noting that *every* USA-based airline operating
scheduled international passenger flights has *voluntarily*

completely hypocritical and self-serving drivel until such

any of them could at any time. USA airlines are allowed to
participate in IATA "traffic conferences" only because of a
special exemption granted them from USA anti-trust laws which
normally forbid such industry-wide collusion on prices.
