The Amazon contract will for sure go away, I would bet my licenses on it. The next sure bet is that this airline will be a Boeing airline more than likely. The only variable is the island flying and even then I think we see the 717 replaced with 737s
A huge order that isn't so huge once you look into it just slightly.
They can go all Boeing and we can muddle along- Displacing and waiting.
Or we could diversify and actually have a growth plan to match the rhetoric.
This insider relationship isn't the best for the pilots or the bottom line. But I bet it's great for the 19th hole.
