So what does that say about the business plan? I understand load factors etc were met. However no matter how you slice it branded flying on 50 seat aircraft with XJTs higher cost infrastructure did not have the chips in it's favor. No one wished things the way it did I hoped like hell it had continued for multiple reasons but it was obvious the business model simply wouldn't work. From the get go till it's closing it's large investors stated the same worries. As far as me not having any vested interest. I owned several thousand shares of it at one point. Fortunately I was able to get out when I did. My information never came from word of mouth it came from quarterly reports, CEO statements, analyst outlooks, etc. When they all point to a downhill trend it doesn't matter how or why it happens it just means it's going to happen. I never said it was a crap product I simply said that based on the information available it was not going to be successful. I do respect your post you make some good points. There have been several however, a couple in this thread, that seem to think because the stock went up 40% in a day that things are going great when this is only after a 10-1 reverse split and the price was hovering around a much smaller market share. This is no monday morning armchairing. Go look back a couple years. Consistent statements all along that unfortunately came true. Never once did I jump in and say things like "Your company is the cancer of the industry" and "your company is putting pilots on the street" or "how can you feel respectable" etc. All these cheap shots and maturity have to stop. I know a lot over there are disgruntled but keep it there. Stop name calling and ruining every thread by turning it into one about your company.
