I get that this is your drum to beat. But if you want to have some credibility, I suggest you do some research on freedoms of the air and route authority. Asia is not the EU with open skies. FedEx can’t just hand off their SYD-CAN or SYD-SIN route to any airline du jour to fly their freight. There are time restrictions to serve these routes and they must be flown by the route authority holder within those restrictions. We just had to request a waiver for a route stop required in DXB that we couldn’t comply with due to the local hostilities. Your doomsday scenarios are not all based in fact.
