My source, it's common knowledge to the ones who did the negotiating and the due diligence for the deal. This isn't flame throwing, it's just the facts.
That doesn't even make sense. We've been buying/leasing deserted 200 airframes. Airframes that we had no exposure to prior to pulling them out from the desert. In other words, we didn't have any parking costs associated with those that came from the desert. I do understand that we get them dirt cheap, though. I'm guessing that would give us a competitive advantage over other 200 operators.
