I remember a few years ago it was all doom & gloom sub $1 shares and look what happened. And the time before, and the time before that.
What you have to remember with any large corporations is that it is just a game moving assests/cash around to create whatever narrative you wish to dictate.
A fairly direct ‘threat’ (if you will) was made the other day to Short Haul Pilots (who don’t fly the 787), that either the current issues are resolved, or a Request to the board to order more new 787s in the coming months cannot/will not be made.
Letting options lapse is now being pinned on this Network/Jetconnect issue, and Short Haul Pilots.
I’m trying to point out that ordering more of these modern, fuel efficient aircraft is now imperative, no matter what is going on between Pilots and management, otherwise it won’t be long until we see those $1 shares again. It is a stupid threat to make, because it is not something they can be held to if they want future success for the airline.
