The problem with F9 is a REVENUE problem, not cost problem, which is why nobody understands the concessions taken by FAPA. It's a stop gap measure that'll allow BB to continue to mismanage F9 for slightly longer while not addressing the real problem of revenue generation.
You guys are toast. You guys are losing money despite record load factors and the lowest cost structure amongst your competitors in the strongest aviation market we've seen in awhile. What's going to happen when the market inevitably tanks again? BB will come back again begging for more concessions to subsidize his lack of management skills. Tell management to get their house in order and address your gigantic revenue problem.
Part of our revenue problem is the fact we are providing jobs for 145 and 170 crews with a large CASM and fuel through the roof. Get them off the branded side make a few more changes and we'll see how it looks then. I just don't understand why you guys don't get it that you are part of our problem.
