perhaps they do, in fact, almost certainly they do. But right now all three are simply trying to avoid bankruptcy and their international exposure - in terms of aircraft poorly suited for domestic flying and senior people disproportionately holding type ratings in precisely that equipment - puts them at a hellacious disadvantage. They are going to have to support all that idle inventory and workforce from the revenue from the domestic loads that may be “thin” for quite awhile during which time NK and F9 will have far less overhead and a more efficient product with pilots who can fly any aircraft in the fleet, probably mostly A319/A320s for awhile but A321s when loads start to warrant them.

The Big Three have THEIR work cut out for them merely staying afloat themselves.
