The 787 could have replaced some of the 737 seats on NBO-West Africa routes.
The disadvantage would have been the 787 can't do the matatu hops like the 737. The two most crucial components of a flight remain take off and landing.. I would rather reduce the odds than increase them on route serviced by Delta. Which American would rather fly KQ out of Accra than their very own Delta! The same Americans who fly KLM to AMS? Or AF to CDG? Or BA to LHR? Check the NTSB stats and the Fly American state policy of the USA The fly american policy only applies to US federal and state employees or private sector employees contracted by the federal or state(s) government of USA If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

USG employees can fly any airline for personal travel. Furthermore, non-US airlines can be taken if the logistics call for it. USA-NBO pax also includes Kenyans, diasporans, other Africans (EAC, Somalia, southern Africa), Canadians, World Bank & IMF employees, UN personnel and Americans on personal travel.

DVT requires you to stretch not do a 100m sprint. It’s made flying to the US very easy and convenient. Going to the US I went via Europe and that was a headache 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

The problem with arguing for the sake is that you may get away with anything that you believe, even if it is not supported by facts. Codeshare under Fly American allows for the rest of the route to be covered on partner airlines. A good percentage of the travelers shall be US state officials. For the regular folk, especially in NYC; these are not 'poor' people intent on hops. They fly direct. Which is what KQ has offered

Non-stop baba Those stops are chaos sometimes you have a delay and connecting flights leave, you have to be rescheduled and imagine you are attending a meeting that you had only one day rest that means you have to do with jetlag. Not once i have missed my connecting flight at LHR and CDG to JFK or coming back to Kenya and bags being left yet you had that perfect gift for your spouse in that bag then it comes when you have already gone back Life is an endless adventure

BUT since I am a shareholder via KQLC, I am  I hope minorities support KQ's fund-raising efforts and leave the poor banks alone.  Greedy when others are fearful.
