Your point is noted and true enough that any professional and sane private company will not venture into a money-losing business from the start. Nonetheless, I refer back to the Batu Gajah MP's statement, and I believe she was referring to the what is known as "AirAsia X cannot serve destinations that is served by MAS" policy. My interpretation of her statement is that whether AirAsia(AirAsia X in this context) will be allowed by the government to serve the route that MAS pull-out from(if they have the interest) RATHER than asking/requiring them to serve the route.
