I agree....Ted has been leading this airline in most aspects for a while now, behind the scenes and in front. The conference calls are much more about Ted vs Bob. Investors aren’t much interested in what Bob “would” do if he were still at the helm going forward, as they are with Ted on what he “will” do.
More likely they are still finalizing an order or securing the best financing for the order.
