In three months B6 has lost 66% of share value which says the investors do not trust or have realized B6 is full of it and they are leaving the building. B6 always blames the weather, the NE, the E-190 and the everything else except the lack of competent people running the show and the horrible operations B6 runs. What load factor does B6 need to have to make a profit? The planes are almost full which means B6 needs about 100% load factor to make money. Historically airlines need to have a load factor of 60% to make a profit. The story that we operate out of the NE is old news and B6 decided to operate out of the NE so figure it out. All carriers operate out of the NE so B6 is not alone. The E190 excuse is also old news and those that are paid for should be used until there are enough A220s with the major mechanical issues with this airplane solved. Probably the most important thing is that B6 needs real new management and exterminate many unnecessary management positions to become lean and efficient.
