Be company executive -> take some of huge company cash pile, invest in low performing codeshare airline -> add free capacity to that airline at the expensive of your own -> watch as low performing carrier produces record profits -> investors flood codeshare carrier with cash -> book stock gains in codeshare company as profits in your own company -> watch as your own stock increases -> sell shares in your own company -> profits!!!
