Massive growth projected! - change our order book timeline and say it’s “just aligning with Airbus delays”
Not amazing growth like it was but still good growth! - capacity cuts hit and we are able to fly from originally 15+ pilots per plane to less than 14
Finally back to making real money! - Tarrifs destroy airline profitability. Further capacity cuts expected during the busiest and most profitable summer months.
What did I miss?
So much winning! Don’t expect consumer confidence to increase until volatility gets back to somewhere near normal. It surely will not help contract negotiations.
