you realize all of this can be taken away almost overnight, right? Not saying that will happen but last week means nothing as far as this career goes. Unfortunately it’s really cyclical and the down cycles usually last longer than the upswings, lol.

Somehow, JB is coming up with the cash to purchase Spirit and refurb 250+ aircraft. They can and will cough up a contract for us, too.

no they wont, and they’ll use the purchase of Spirit and the “conversion of Yellow planes to Blue” as the reason why they dont have money for us. 😁

and they won’t benefit from buying spirit without giving us a great contract.

they will if they arent competing against us anymore…

look, I think we’ll get a pretty good JCBA but I don’t think we’ll have it as quickly and as easily as some suggest. (Definitely easier than with Franke though) lol

How do you figure? They need a JCBA in place before they start converting the aircraft. Logic defies you.
