I heard a rumor that the company made $100 million in 23.M.7 payments in December alone. I remember the company getting angry because it thought the pilot group was abusing sick leave by $42 million per yer. This is shaping up to be $1.2 billion per yer. My prediction is we get a contract 6 months early because the company needs this fixed ASAP.
Bingo. This is why patience is a virtue, rather than rushing to a deal that sells ourselves short.
I was called “wildly off base” on here just a few months ago for saying this would eventually amount to hundreds of millions of dollars per year. As it is currently playing out, my estimate was too low. This is a growing investment that will be well-positioned for the start of section 6.
