Or are you saying the big legacy carrier continues to exist but has no US based pilots?
I'm asking you and a few others who have commented to explain it in a scenario but all I get is comments like "lookup maritime" or "review past history" or "I don't have the time to explain it" kinds of answers.
Its because their beating you to the punch. The business model, or labor model is moot. No one thinks FoC means that company wont make money. A FoC means 3rd world safety standards in this country with no control. That above all is the larger risk.
What would happen is NAI or some other company would run the most traveled routes. Abuse the design limits ie overload, remove safety equipment, have 1 flight attendant, add seats, run to many cycles on engine and airframe, paint over cracks, feed everyone MREs so they become constipated, remove the bathrooms, add seats, allow seat sharing, remove seats for standing fares, use counterfeit parts, haul hazardous cargo labeled non-hazardous, get behind on paying landing fees and PFC's, force FAA and airports to sue to collect, force flight crew to work 18 days and pad logs, issue no-doze to pilots, not waste training time on pilots for emergencys that wont happen, evade basic corporate taxes, offer IPO and dump shares, parade topless FAs in business class, offer prostitution in 1st class w/ cocaine.
Announce that big greedy unions wanting $250,000 a year are the reason that American company's failed, and reference rust belt and UAW.
