Something is going down. The numbers don't add up.

Good. I had recently talked to one of your pilots and they said hiring and upgrades over there were stagnant and had been for a while. 56, sounds lofty. I hope it happens.

I do find it odd that we are netting 1.25 airplanes a month and no hiring. I believe we are over staffed, but not to that degree.
My 2 cents.

Google Reverse IPO. It can be done that way and it would be Indigo coughing up the money.

A merger right now makes zero sense.

A percentage IPO makes perfect sense. Pays FAPA invest, and puts money in Indigo's pocket.

Cancelled classes make plenty of sense for an upcoming IPO. They need to show the lowest possible cost for labor as they can to bump up the price of stock and we’re currently overstaffed. They will run us as lean as they can for the foreseeable future.

Not likely, Spirt isn’t even close to being considered a shell corporation.
