One thing that everyone seems to miss is Trainer only has to not lose money to be a successful acquisition.

Trainer is all about dependable supply chain. We need a way to ensure that there is an uninterrupted supply of aviation fuel. Aviation fuel isn't the main product of refineries. Airlines are subject to the refineries seasonal switching from one product to another. This results in wide swings in availability and price.

RA was correct to attempt to assure availability. Trainer does that. By better controlling supply, there may be a smoothing, or even lowering of price. That remains to be seen. But, half of the goals have already been met. We have regular supply.
