While the Original Post is fanciful and unrealistic, I don't think it is a stupid question at all.

It is nowhere near as stupid as the posts on other sites where employees of the bankrupt airlines say things like "If UAL (or USAir) bought an oil company, then we could get cheap fuel." Well, duh, if the airline had $20 - $50 billion to buy a small oil company, then it could pay off all its debts instead of languishing in bankruptcy for three years.

Or even more stupid is this one: "An oil company should buy UAL (or USAir) and then sell it cheap fuel - this way, the airline would be hugely profitable for the oil company buyer." Well, duh, the oil company would probably rather just sell all airlines expensive fuel, since that seems like the guaranteed route to profitability. Why risk billions of dollars in the unlikely fantasy that the airline would magically become profitable with cheap fuel?

Posters of the two stupid ideas mentioned above (NOT the OP) probably think their airline employers ought to buy lottery tickets in hopes of winning the big jackpot and saving the bankrupt airline.
