For clarification, are you saying that you think If the majority of XJT A/C turn profits and the minority lose money, then majority wins and you will be profitable?
I didn't take it as an insult, I'm about ten years older than you, and I like to believe I'm still young.
Are you familiar with our capacity purchase agreement with CAL for the 206 aircraft? If you are it will answer all your questions, if you're not I'll be more than happy to elaborate on the basics of it. Either way, the margin of losses on the 53 aircraft would have to exceed the margin of profit on the 206 aircraft (which by the way is guaranteed per our agreement) for XJT to see red on the books.
So, again state your knowledge of the financial workings in relation to our situation...young man.
