I think this is a great idea and long overdue, the industry in the pacific has to consolidate. I don't see the kangaroo expaning onto these routes. Air Pacific would be a better vehicle for expansion onto these routes. For that those countries that have trouble swallowing their national pride, they will find it easier in cooperation with a fellow pacific island nation airline, Rather than be seen to be taken over by the big sheep or kangaroo, with the fears that the route structure would be cherry picked and the rest canned.
