I went to public school. Some may have called it "other".

They almost certainly won't buy the A340s they need to run that route. They might try it with a weight-restricted A332, though that's a recipe for lots of fuel stops in ANC. They might walk away; on the other hand, the airline that they had competed with for that route authority doesn't exist anymore.
