Gotcha. Are you sure about the $10M purchase price? That sounds like interest in debt...
The only firm figures I saw in my fire-starter paperwork showed 3,000,000 shares of E-1 stock purchased for $8.20 (don't worry, no pilots were issued E-1 shares...) and then another $10M management bonus for Brad and friends. Let that one sink in for a few...

Airline flying Redundant? Not where I work.

Says the guy who thinks airline flying is redundant and boring. Interestingly, that’s the cup that nearly everyone at Flex drinks from, and none of them save a few retirees have ever flown for a major airline.
121 is no more redundant than flying between the NE and Florida all tour long, and taking a big plane into Bogota etc is just as challenging if not more than Castlegar and the like.
If you want to fly fracs then knock yourself out. But don’t pretend to know what major 121 flying is like. I’ll trade not seeing some new place out in the sticks once a rotation for not having to clean lavs, stock planes and be on the hook for rolling rest. YMMV.

No babysitting of old farts either like at Netjets. We did just get bought by Vista Global, but seems to be business as usual so far, good luck with your job hunting.
