Maybe we are really doing so good and they just want to keep it a secret. Or maybe this is the next Enron scam
Management literally cannot afford to lose pilots. If a single 220 sits idle due to staffing, this place is toast. That fact alone, you cannot trust what management is telling you - no matter how good of a person they may be. Do I think the sky is falling tomorrow at Breeze? No. But what they are telling us isn't adding up. We aren't losing money because of delivery delays. TP literally said we are losing money because of overcapacity in the market. Translation = we cannot charge enough and fill our seats. So now I ask - where is the overcapacity? Airlines are literally parking NEOs and not taking delivery of expected MAXs. The overcapacity IS Breeze.....
I want to see this place through as much as the next guy but..... the facts aren't matching reality. They fully expected to be profitbale Q2. Don't act like it was a "maybe".
Also, Avelo is peanuts. SW isn't acquiring it's way out of this hole. It needs the MAX 7 to stop flying small routes with MAX 8s. It's like Breeze flying all its routes with A320s, when we can only fill 100 seats as it is.
