If GJ pulled the plug Oct 1 YV could step in instantly.
I don't know how GJ does maintenance, but from the same owner, when we got TSA's old planes, they were pieces of trash and took forever to get up to spec.

Haha Pangolin, same thing same time.
I’m just a guessing man on all this but it’s pretty much from the conference call. The haters are gonna hate but JO is in his element right now. Furthermore, again, just guesswork but I don’t believe for a second that we’re going to have a 737 fleet of 2. APC will really lose their minds when that doubles, triples, quadruples or more.

Those birds are going to Mesa.
