Whether this exploration results in actually going down that path is TBD and is the bigger question.
If for some reason this doesn’t work then I can see trying to tie up with a smaller carrier as an option but that’s only if we can’t dance with one of the big boys. This is of course my opinion only based on nothing but my own observations and experience. YMMV.
I do think the corruption of the previous administration was an anomaly.
