Yeah, but what about from SDQ/STI? 😁

Those SDQ-LHR flights will be 3man crews for sure. Acclimated to SDQ time with a 36hr layover 🤣

I could see that. It seems like our CFO has said we will stay in this cost savings mode......so.......

If we don’t hit the $2.50 target then I could see Europe indefinitely delayed, new management team brought in, and real merger discussions.
If you added frequency you could definitely help with irops. When you have one flight a day that cxs and all the rest for the week are full it becomes a mess.

If they don’t hit that target definitely all bets are off. The one dude I was flying with said some of our big investors are the ones pushing for it or “else”. Which kind of seems right as the company keeps talking about them. Also I think back when we did have real PS and Jamie Baker was like wtf are you giving your employees this for while your investors get nothing.

Yeah, because $billions of dollars of stock buy-backs aren't enough for the investor class, have to take the money directly out of the pockets of the people who give up time with their families to actually move the metal.

Stay classy Baker.
