I hear BB master plan is to hope for a recession and/or hope B6-NK doesn't happen. That doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I keep asking this as well - I don’t know how they plan to grow this airline to 2-3x what we are now with all the infrastructure constraints at most of the country’s biggest airports. Do we have some Grand plan of how to steal market share from the big 4? Is that what they think will happen as they begin to scale the ULCC model? I just don’t understand what the plan is when you are in a severely constrained industry where 4 companies control 80-85% of the market.
