We will be placing a massive order soon and everyone knows this. I'm sure a global powerhouse with an improving balance sheet can more than beat the terms of a tiny egomaniac driven start up thats always down to their last 20 million when it comes to terms of aircraft orders.
In the extremely unlikely event we decide to get their planes cause RB wants out, we can take those over through the leasing companies way outside the realm of any merger.
I never said merger...
OTOH there is a real possibility that is Plan-C for the West Coast...
Consolidation is inevitable and marginal players will be assimilated one way or another. VA hasn't-ever-made-money...
