So, but keeping the aircraft generic with no affiliation whatsoever, you can use the same equipment to codeshare with many airlines....
so, the reason that real companies can not "run in the black" as you say is that they are facing unfair competition from fly by night carrier's such as these using a single aircraft to service multiple contracts.... something the branded, or in livery companies can not do. So, what your really saying is that the companies doing this are the prime examples of leading the race to the bottom and allowing management to prositute our profession.
Thank you for the explanation.... now that I understand it, which airline is it that's doing this?
