Not listening to JB but listening to the rest of the industry about premium, I think domestic mint will give a good help.
I just believe we should try to keep our emotions in check and not be too hasty to say something failed, prematurely. I get it though, it's hard when you get bad news after bad news and start to wonder if the paycheck will stop. I personally will wait until Q2 2027 earnings to start yelling at clouds. I believe we have enough runway at least until then. Who knows, maybe JetForward become canceled due to JetMerger and all the yelling and losing braincells would have been for nothing, and now the clouds are mad.
I'll add, I'm also interested to see what they decide to do with the rest of those A220 that are coming for the next several years.
Yep well said. There’s too much emotional thinking on here. The most major points of the plan haven’t even begun. And it’s not like they’ve pushed back any of it. We knew from the start that lounges and first class come next late 2025 and 2026 respectively. A partnership was announced when they said it would. The 190 retirement plan is going as has been planned for a while now.
We have a lot of headwinds right now but as each one flips, will it be enough to get us profitable or no? No one here knows.
