What about a fuel/technical stop? Seems it would add about an hour or so to the flight at fairly minimal discomfort to passengers?

Wonder why the non-taiwanese airlines (MH/SQ) all dropped LAX-TPE route, seems high profitability given the ungodly number of flights between CI/BR on a daily basis... (flown on all 4 airlines on this route). Granted, SQ had an accident in the 2000's, but MH dropped the route even before their issues.
