Knowhow? Could very well have, but in Australia's unique environment?
A toxic, inept regulator to navigate. Monopoly airports gouging anyone and everyone they come in contact with. Maintenance costs almost double that in the US environment, militant unions and disinterested government. Excise inflated fuel costs.

If he is as smart as you say he is, he's likely to consider Australia not worth touching with a forty foot barge pole.
