Thanks Aero for taking the time again to post the numbers. I've seen your fleet growth numbers before but not the block hours expectations.
I hope for everyone's sake that contract negotiations don't drag on for years as they have thus far. I realize it's in Indigo's best interest to drag out the inevitable as it shows higher profit each quarter, which equals higher valuation for the company. It's strictly business.
When will it happen, who knows, that's anyone's guess.
