Do you not put a value on your time? I sure do, and I own 2 boats. As long as you use them, they aren’t as bad as the “break out another thousand” crowd thinks. Neither one of mine have ever broken down on the water and I’ve owned one for 10 years and the other one has been in my family for 26 years.
I suppose many boat owners use their boats pretty sparingly? Just a mechanical hunch. |

I'd suppose part of the problem with boat issues could lie with the sometimes infrequent use they get? (especially in cold weather climates) Kind of like older cars that need to be run atleast once every week or two to keep seals and lines intact etc..

After the world shut down in April, finally broke down and bought my first boat.
Have been out on the water just about every day as well.... except for the occasional trips I get called in for. it’s been a blast I admit. |

You have some big cojones to have bought a boat in April, with the industry in free fall. I bet it was a nice stress relief to deal with the junk of the world since you purchased it

07 Carver 36MY or 08 Meridian 341 and why? Sedan cruiser question only. Dont care about mako, Hatteras and the like...
Or ...Jeanneau 38 Fly with the outboards? Quality in the details seems to lack a bit on the Jeanneau's I've toured, but I suppose the price reflects. |
Who thinks in the upcoming earnings call Spirit will project us to post a small profit for 4Q2020? Pretty full flights lately? And frequency is coming back. What else could we do to increase flights? We could do what Qantas does and give sightseeing flight (they give sightseeing flights around Antarctica)
imagine a yellow airbus flying down on the Grand Canyon, or perhaps flying 100 feet over the pacific cost for Whale Watching? |

If a city pair had five flights a day and now it has three and the other two flights are represented by airplanes parked and sitting idle would it be profitable? My guess is not even with those three flights full. Those three full flights have depressed pricing and your capacity is down to 60% on this city pair from pre-Covid which would be incredibly optimistic these days. This is what I see on our very best routes. Factor in the city pairs that aren’t as good across the airline and I don’t see any way we could be profitable in the 3rd quarter.
This also feels a bit like June where traffic was way up and then the surge in cases hit the news and bookings took a nose dive. We will have to wait a couple weeks to see how today’s scary Covid news affects bookings. I don’t think it’s going to be good. |
