We had the budget to keep 300 extra captains laying around the last few years. A few 220 RSAs is peanuts.

In any case, looks like they're satisfied with the operation metrics. They're pretty good. Or at least a big improvement.

 

Quick correction. Jetforward was revealed end of July 2024. Not a year yet.

Carry on...

 

thanks….ill come back at the end of next month and say nothings changed!! LOL!!

 

It was supposed to be “revealed” in May. They pushed it to July, but it was the same exact thing they started doing in February 😂 cut expenses, defer deliveries, reallocate the planes we have. I’m not coming at you BGood…I’m just saying, this is the grand plan

 

We’re just throwing darts at a board, hoping we land on some magical money making routes. No investment, no strategy, just hope. That’s who’s running the airline right now. But hey, at least they’re frugal.

 

hahahahahaha

 

Yeah. I wanted to inject a little timeline reality, which is why I reminded Gottagetout where we are. For me, it's too early to call a 3-year plan a failure at year one when there is more coming in the plan (domestic mint, partnership, turn-around of the GTF, E190 leaving bringing us back to 2 fleet etc). Not listening to JB but listening to the rest of the industry about premium, I think domestic mint will give a good help.

I just believe we should try to keep our emotions in check and not be too hasty to say something failed, prematurely. I get it though, it's hard when you get bad news after bad news and start to wonder if the paycheck will stop. I personally will wait until Q2 2027 earnings to start yelling at clouds. I believe we have enough runway at least until then. Who knows, maybe JetForward become canceled due to JetMerger and all the yelling and losing braincells would have been for nothing, and now the clouds are mad.

I'll add, I'm also interested to see what they decide to do with the rest of those A220 that are coming for the next several years.

 

Plenty of EAS to bid on!

 

Thanks for this weeks JB Newsletter!

 

Reality and logical thinking is not welcome here . Only pure emotion.
