Yes for sure. Though leasing companies may not be upset to get airplanes back early if they can lease them out again quickly at higher rates. Hopefully it doesn’t come to anything like that.

Also, the company would have to actually own the airplanes for them to be considered assets in a liquidation. 100% correct that those A/Cs would be returned to the lessor and sold at a premium in the GLOBAL market.
You would think that someone claiming to be a former analyst on the street would know that.

what exactly are we liquidating? The vast majority of our aircraft are leased. Even if we had a bunch to liquidate, seems that the markets have taken a turn to where that would yield significantly less than even before. Isn’t consolidation common in economic downturns? Something about synergies. And where would F9 get thousands of pilots to fly these planes overnight absent a merger? Maybe a bunch of 1500 eager CFIs but certainly no captains.
The bankruptcy wiped out shareholder value and gave the equity of the company to its bondholders. There's quite a bit there for them to liquidate, though they certainly won't be getting 10B.
F9 would not buy our entire fleet out of bankruptcy, that is certain. They'd get some though for sure. Smaller carriers like the Wizz or Vueling might pick up 5-10 airplanes each, maybe.
Also, the company would have to actually own the airplanes for them to be considered assets in a liquidation. 100% correct that those A/Cs would be returned to the lessor and sold at a premium in the GLOBAL market.

Didn't make a fortune but absolutely made enough in that business to do whatever else I want to do for the rest of my life.
