RAM would be rather better than Tunisair, though, to give access to French-speaking West Africa, which is rather poorly served by OW.
Well I was thinking about Arik Air(eventually). They are now operating JFK-LOS. However, they do have a number of things to work out, and would need the help that comes from an alliance sponsor.
