Too bad there isn’t an airline out there they could purchase with a fully developed pacific route structure with 15-16 major destinations, for both pax and cargo, along with 80 years of operating history, with both 5th freedom and domestic rights in a major pacific nation, plus all the slots to use them effectively.
As they say in Minnesota, that’d be a heckuva deal.
