If you are AS and if you want to be a “big” airline you would be crazy not to try to grab us. But that’s a lot of (ifs)

It would make for a very interesting airline and I wonder with proper management and a much larger network it could be a pretty good competitor.

We aren't cheap at all. If we were a small business we would have an $8 million mortgage at 7% interest, and be at best bringing in $150k/yr in cash in the next few years. We are currently operating at a loss. We are a zombie company.

Stock is up 5% when JETS ETF is red. Investors are coming around. I don’t know if that’s because of an expected buyout or the actual turn around story of “Jet Forward.”

It could just be the Boeing bump after the 73 incident.

I thought about that. But to me that’s not a good reason to buy the stock. The incident aircraft was not a max, it was a 2009 model.
