watching the stock market on the day to day roller coaster of a panic driven pandemic is probably an inaccurate way to gauge things.

Our growth is already funded. The investors were there when we needed to secure financing . That deal is done.... we just need to pay for it now

It’s as ridiculous as a 35 year old looking at their 401k balance right now saying they “lost money”. Rational thought rarely exists in the market and it left the building about 2 weeks ago.

I can’t imagine the domestic fleet not being grounded for all airlines as this starts to grow more and pop up more on planes. The concern shouldn’t be stock price, it should be what is our burn rate on cash with a fleet not flying, would the government subsidize all airlines if there is a grounding (would assume so) and is Airbus in schedule to deliver planes and will we/can we postpone for a quarter or so.

if the govt mandates all grounding of US Airlines how could they not be willing to subsidize the losses...

I think we have enough fear mongering via soccer mom facebook groups and on Good Morning America.

Well if ya cant pay for the loans, that's a bit of a problem, no? And yeah, I would hope Donny would get some relief for airlines, cuz the banks aren't just gonna cut us some slack on their own. They have their own bills to pay.

yes, exactly. I don’t see how they dont, or how they can cherry pick which airlines gets relief.

This isn’t fear mongering, it’s not just closing your eyes and saying “it’s just a flu and will go away In the summer”

Why some continue to dismiss the medical experts on this and act like all is normal, it’s ridiculous. Nobody is saying they hide in a bunker but if you’re not at least considering possible alternatives like a brief halt to air travel, you aren’t paying attention to the rest of the world and how this country is trending.

This way of thinking isn’t necessarily out of fear, it’s out of being realistic and looking at all angles.

Maybe if our own government hadn’t said just 2 weeks ago that “we are at 15 cases and soon be at 0,” and took meaningful preventive action then, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

The medical experts are saying it will diminish in the summer....... I drank coffee from an RJ for years, I'm immune. Just bought 500 shares, buckle up boys, its gonna get fun.
