I would like to see CSA open some routes to Asia, as currently Skyteam is very weak on that side, and flying from Prague to HKG/BKK/KUL is more logical than Paris or Amsterdam.
They used to fly to BKK and that route was cut looooong before the NA routes, back in the day when things were still good. So I really cannot see them bringing it back now it if didn't make sense even then.
As far as other long-haul routes go, the economies of scale of operating one or two planes of the same type are pretty unforgivable.
And even if that weren't true, the company is staying in government hands for now, so I wouldn't hold my breath for much new investment into the company.
