That is my concern. How many 76 seaters on slated for delivery and what is the replacement schedule on the 50 seaters (is it one 76 seater for one 50 seater, 1 for 2, etc, etc). Always be cautious when simple stats with no supporting details.

"Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?", as the saying goes . .

Massive loss of cash?:confused:

Interesting, but RA has been talking for about 5 minutes, and the stock nosedived.. Buying opportunity?

They don't have any 76 seaters slated for delivery, they are at the maximum already.

Expecting to break even this year, excluding special items.

This is not mainline capacity. The decline is purported to be in the DCI lift sector. We are to grow 3% annually starting in Jan 2010.
