Everyone has caught up or surpassed our product as of late. Back in the day, wifi and TV’s were a hot commodity, now it’s the norm. With out any business contracts, cargo, wide body premium, etc. If oil spikes, or the economy dips, there is no way we make a profit. We have no pricing power. We have all this debt to service, we dished out 100’s of millions for a failed merger. This is all way above my pay grade, but I just don’t see how this continues long term without a merger.
