Shrinking towards oblivion is shrinking we're used to in aviation... This is a bit different as we're building a strong financial platform with an efficient fleet plan.
Combine that with significant expansion and moving of 100% of the CMH simulators NJA uses in a complete upgrade of the training center and we've got a huge reorganization underway.
Unfortunately, growth is not a great idea while so many balls are in the air.
The time will come... this year where NJA has the potential to move forward in a much more economic fashion serving our Owners travel needs.
At that point, I think you'll see a concerted and professional decision regarding growth.
To grow and not have the proper aircraft or simulators would be like fishing without a proper rod and reel or net.
It feels good but you'll go hungry.
This reorganization process is frustrating for junior pilots to go through to be sure spurring the desire to look elsewhere. Whatever floats your boat but when the logger jam that Hansell and Sokol left behind is cleared, it's all ahead forward.
All on the NJA Train will enjoy the journey.
