Some things are obvious to people who have spent a life time in the industry and pay attention. One doesn't need to be a CEO to figure some things out.
Well said,....!!!

Isn't it better for a company after stock analysis vs. need/use, to sell off, not re-stock, parts that are not used on a regular basis, not having high stock of parts seating for that one time need each year which has to be thrown away or under sold when aircraft tis removed from the fleet?

seems like the "under performing, ugly, small maintenance pig" (nice personal opinion here) is quite the sales success for the OEM and doing pretty well for its operators worldwide. Seems like any business man who can purchase a Business 101 book at Barnes & Nobles understand the need of an entry level small plane in a fleet in order to attract new owners who one would want to convert to bigger metal at a later stage?

"Aggressively attacking your pilot labor force through intimidation and dubious terminations in NOT a good idea" > great description of 95% of the US commercial aviation industry. In my humble opinion.

But, too bad the Hemisphere is gone. Time for the operators to find a replacement.
