Again, this is obviously speculation, and I would be delighted if I'm 100% wrong and they sign an industry leading contract tomorrow.
Yes, I'm sure it's also possible that the Atlas execs who live in their New York bubble probably all thought that the world economy would enter a downturn after the election of Trump.
And boy were they wrong.
They're probably still betting on that.
And boy are they wrong.
Their possible "winning long term strategy" sounds like the dumbest strategy that I've heard of in a long time. Or they just don't care and just want to spite the pilots. I continue to be amazed that the board and shareholders still allow these bozos to keep their jobs.
