Of course it’s a discount. Buying in bulk also gets you a discount on planes and fuel. Anyone can get a discount for a number of reasons-being new is not one of them. My point is not that they got a discount. My point is that nothing they buy/lease/otherwise pay for is discounted because of the fact that they are new…yet they want a pass on under paying labor…because they are new. Being a startup doesn’t entitle them to discounts on anything else…yet they claim they get a pass on their discounted labor. And I’m calling BS on that. Porter is just a cheapa$$ and Neeleman has never had to pay real market rate for pilots. Welcome to the shortage Dave and Trent. May your turnover be rapid and large.
