The stock has steadily declined since inception and the company has purposefully operated recklessly. BB continues to lie to stockholders about the pilot market and retantion, potential Pratt and Whitney engine issues in the future, etc. As such, Indigo would benefit GREATLY from not having to divulge company financials and given recent actions, the "vote of confidence" is a no brainer - investment banks would jump at a "salvage" offer of a stock buyback from Indigo. This is so obvious I'm surprised the SEC doesn't investigate.
Nevertheless, this company isn't headed in a positive direction. Stock plummeting, quarterly losses when most others profit, pending labor contracts, gate issues in the main base (DEN), **** poor pilot rentention, etc. This is supposed to be a time of growth and prosperity.
Agreed, but I'm not so sure we're not just ahead of the curve on this one.
The legacies may be just behind and will slow down too.
One tiny data point, but my commute has been wide open, like 50% load numerous times. I would not be surprised to see capacity trimmed by the big 4 next year.
