The timing is nothing but a coincidence. I’m betting 4q financials are not good and he got the boot.

Maybe FrankE will give Ted a second chance? (Edited because it would be tragic, not funny)

Two losing companies combined equal one big loser. We’re not merging with Frontier.

Hopefully they get a great CEO!

I agree on the $50 mil. I was supposed to be $100 mil. They moved the goal post.
I guess maybe the contract of carriage pertaining to cancelations and more headaches in the next steps. Again, nobody knows anything, but like you said, the $50m amount doesn’t scream confidence.

do you realize that if the company was that far off from what they projected for their earnings we would have gotten an 8-K pointing towards a loss…

Q4 is done in like 2.5 weeks, they know how the quarter will shape up by this time.

I won’t pretend to know, but I’m thinking the contract of carriage is the least of the company’s concerns when staring down the barrel of a third bankruptcy.

I didn’t say a loss, I said not as good as it should be. I thought I saw a pretty large range on earnings projections but long story short you’re not making 200 million 4q, so for the year you’re losing and we are a really big loser.

You think F9 can sustain our yearly loses and yours for very long?

I am just a pilot, it’s nothing but a thought so we’ll see.

I hope you guys kill it 4q. 🍻

While I do love the optimism, it is still concerning that Mr. Davis spins the $50M as a vote of confidence. If DIP investors were confident, they would have gladly handed over $100M. It didn’t happen. This shows, what I would consider, a last chance to NK. It does make me wonder that it actually buys time for the investors to weigh their options before pulling the plug. I’m not sure this gives any airline confidence to buy NK. By this time, NK promised to have a buyer or have a plan in place showing sustainable operations. Neither happened. I’m worried!

Well somebody is still talking, no way they would have handed over 50 large if they weren’t. Maybe they’re just trying to speed the strategic transaction up? As for a stand alone, I’m not optimistic personally but opinions vary. I’m not anymore worried than I was yesterday or a month ago but thank you for the concern.

I don’t disagree with this, but if they had no confidence, they wouldn’t have written a check. $50M is still a lot of money
