Aviation is an international issue and not a purely domestic subject. I suspect that the WTO and EU would have something to say about support for domestic only carriers. So long as the US Government does not switch the current technology off, and there is a trasitio period, I believe it is the responsibility of the carrier, it will become a marketing/branding/positioning issue, customers can choose a carrier that will fly more directly with the equipment or they can choose to fly with a carrier under the current regime.
