I could care less where or what we fly as long as we are profitable and employees are getting industry-leading compensation.
India has some issues with yield, even their own (formerly large) domestic carrier, Jet Airways, looks like it will shut down soon. Think of Jet as our version of Alaska.
Our issue in China/Asia is organic demand, ie, people from those countries buying tickets on us. The vast majority of our tickets are bought by folks originating in the US. That needs to change in order to be successful overseas. I think part of the problem is the "American" name in general, honestly.
I don't know anything about Africa.
