SSS and/or Airbus will certainly be making a profit renting sim time. Seems like the greedy bastards at Indigo would want to capture this profit rather than making money for a different entity.
All in the world of high finance, I guess. They’re saving so much on my wages that they don’t have to be careful in other aspects of the business. :-)
Buying $49 billion worth of airframes is bound to come with some training slots and covered maintenance. No telling what kind of deal was cut with this order.
