the only problem with t/w/s is it’s gotta be profitable. Obviously. If Barry can’t make those days profitable, just by virtue of changing CEOs won’t. So again, you gotta find profitable routes on those days to support increased utilization.
as long as he doesnt close any bases, if he’s got a viable plan for this company, thats his job to run it profitably.
So, the data is out there. You can go to flight aware, etc to see which routes have the most passenger travel. Profitability is something more obviously but it's not rocket science.
It's mind boggling when you think about the size of this airline - we have less than 2500 pilots and 175 airplanes. We are basically the size 2/3 the size of Skywest. We might be as large as DL's Atlanta operation. How freakin hard is it to realize which days of our few routes are the most profitable? It's 2026 - AI could probably tell us this in a couple of microseconds. We still haven't head sh!t from the new CEO or the Union MEC. I mean, WHO DOES THAT?
You get a new CEO and he sends out a letter thanking the previous and mentioning how happy he is to be the new man in charge and that's it?
