It would seem they’ve also done away with training contracts, expanded hiring, expanded bases, added aircraft and lines of flying, and (judging by social media posts) continued building on a growing base of happy customers. If they’ve got 8 planes flying daily (their website has shown 50-60 daily flights, so they must), they must have more than 8 on property. And some of us fly older or as old equipment with a Major’s logo on the side every day, without the amenities JSX features.

Appearances seem to favor the “there really is something here” category.
