I'm afraid Oscar and everyone will be gone in management by next summer.
1. We don’t have more 170s coming because we are scoped out.
2. Kirby didn’t “Axe” the 737 order he pushed it off 3 years and added 40 more planes to it for a total of 100.
3. Yes Kirby increased the 50 seaters by a very small number in FY2017. There are still 145s, 135s, and Dash 8s heading to the desert every month. I’ll wait tell I see a FY2018 fleet plane before I jump on the “we increased regional flying wagon.”
4. Firing our management team will only serve to create more instability. Every new team needs a new business plan.
See the problem with fear mongering is it lacks facts. Of course you agree with the investors because you have a myopic view of the business plan. Think past tomorrow.
