We are ad-hoc acquistion, management and charter, EBJ are fractional. Hey, I'm not trying to bash anyone, as far as I know EBJ do a great service, and are selling stuff.
I know the aircraft they have is nice, I've chartered it.
My comments were based on Hawkes' rosetinting of a company that is struggling, the claim that the aircraft is unencumbered, 70 hours on multiple aircraft etc.
The original point of Bacardi's post was to find out if they were worth working for. Hawkes made comments that distorted the truth in a way that makes me think he has some personal agenda.
So, the upshot is, they have one CJ, seem well financed through the City and are making slow progress in selling shares in more aircraft.
Oh and the press release said one Director left, I have no idea if this is a big deal, if they have 20 directors then I guess not, If they have 4 then I guess it is. From memory it was sales Director and his role is being merged with another role I think.
