Meant as an open question/speculation. If due to tough times, a company like Boeing actually calls it quits and gives up, what happens? This isn't the Thai place down the street, it's not just a shuttered space, right? Presumably they'd eventually liquidate...and they have massive assets that could fairly quickly turn into productive places to, Idunno, build planes? That people will eventually want?
It just seems like they're "too big to fail" not as a rationale to save them, but rather as an argument that no short term thing can actually undercut the advantage they have with a place in a oligopoly market where there are high practical (not necessarily legal) barriers to entry.
Like, somebody... Blackrock or Google or somebody... steps in, buys up their assets, and basically goes full McDowell's on it, right? Welcome to the Dow Jones 30, Bohing Airlines.
