More random statements without backing it up with facts. How would they be in a stronger position??? They'd still be in the mess they are now. To start domestic operations, they'd need a strong base in the USA, which means their overhead costs would be EXACTLY THE SAME. They need aircraft which is suitable for the loads they would be provinding, meaning the costs would be EXACTLY the same as they'd have to purchase additional A320's. They'd be running the same routes...again, meaning their costs would be the same. I fail to see any point you are making to be even remotely accurate at this point.
