We go on our own and still probably close Branded because of fuel prices = 350 furloughed.
Or we go on our own as is and go out of business because we will run out of money in about 11 months = 2882 pilots laid off. No good options here...waiting for some good news from an unexpected place.
Of course we would close Branded before it got to that, so I'm not worried about bleeding to death to keep Branded open. Plus it sounds like our numbers for this summer will be pretty good, so its a wait and see how that goes.
