I recall that at the time of the previous rash of airline failures,
1991???, Mr. Kahn ? - the chief architect of airline deregulation -
said that foreign airlines / owners ought to be let in to show how to
run an aitline. Back then that was particularly silly since most
European airlins still had protected turf and some subsidies (real or
hidden).

Last I heard, Barnson's Virgin organisation still insisted that they
are going to run an American airline through a "US Owned" shell.
Curious.


It looks like Sir Richard is busy playing around with his buddy Burt putting
together a space travel company. Not sure why anybody would want to enter
the US airline market at this time. In a few years after things shake out
maybe but not now.
