The Fed's might waive the ownership requirements if he's seen as a white knight!
They didn't let AA come in to save CP (getting >50% control) so why would they let anyone come in to save Royal, Canada 3000 or Air Transat or the others? The nationalists would rather see a Canadian-owned (but American-managed) monopoly.
