NJI topped out at 55 Gulfstreams. And NJI was killing it. Our pilot to jet ratio was far lower than NJA and we OPERATED at a profit. Something NJA had never done until after integration.
Was NJI perfect? Not even close. But RJS OWNED that market. It’s been in decline ever since he slammed the door in the face of the Ogre.
I would have loved to see the Hemi. And we may yet. It would be good for the company and the pilots.
But to ignore the multiple, ongoing, strategic mistakes being made by this management team is whistling past the graveyard. They rocked it with the IBI. Well played and bully for them. But pardon me if I don’t wave pom poms and sing kumbaya around the campfire just yet.
