It would have routes throughout the U.S. and to all continents, a combined fleet of 125 jetliners and sales exceeding $800 million. Next step would be to persuade the Civil Aeronautics Board and the White House that one big U.S. carrier is necessary to withstand the competition of heavily subsidized state-owned foreign...
