Actually that would be quite good.
The major national airline would be allowed to come to a joint agreement with one of the major US airlines, without the EU sticking their nose in and requiring slots to be given away and other such arms-tied-behind-back things.
We would be back to having a world-leading airliner manufacturing facility, supported by a government who would rebut every attempt by Airbus to consolidate work into France.
We would have a substantial and continuing domestic flight system connecting into the major hub.
We would have new runways approved and built on the north side of our major hub airport .........
I can hardly wait.
