      Sure. Everyone would prefer to have a monopoly that they control, given the option (though to avoid monopolies everywhere other than that). One generally doesn’t get the option to exclude other parties from competing with themselves, though.

      If Delta or any other airline had the option, they’d rather be the only airline. But…here we are.
