Maybe if we double the offer we’ll get em this time. What else are we to do with the money we raised recently. In all seriousness, our management is too in luv with the company to see someone else come in. Have I seen changes, yes. Though not enough to give us that competitive edge edge today and what would be the post merger environment of both ULCCs and AK/HA.
What makes me laugh is the breakdown of the dollar they show us. The first bit is wages and salaries and what they brought up but what about the 26% in “other” expenses. If I were to reduce costs I think the rather uncategorized portion is where I’ll take a look at first.
