Connie does not have deep pockets to go buy new airplanes. He has said many times, would require flying everyday+ to break even?? You have to have good contracts for that. So he can and I think wants to increase our fleet, diversify some, but still hard to compete with new equipment!

I picture Doug making his own Charters business decisions and telling Uncle Connie about it! Again, I would feel much better with Doug at the helm rather than an outside source and then K4 ending up like; ATA, World, North American, Aero Union.......all the companies that were privately owned and then got bought by investors!
