The Amigos are already rich...they don't need to sell AWAC to retire that way.
When you're a private company like AWAC is, you don't need to show constant revenue growth to keep shareholders happy like a public company does...you can simply collect your FFD profits and be satisfied with that income.
In hindsight, AWAC not getting the Midwest flying was a blessing. ****ed off though the employee groups were, I'm sure the Amigos knew something we all didn't.
Those guys are a lot of things...but financially stupid isn't one of them.
