I’m no financial wizard and I don’t have a Spanish ATPL, but all those red and negative numbers are not good (Kool-Aid is no substitute for reality).
This was my understanding as well, 787 were suppossed to be based out of FLL along with both FA and pilots. The base was meant to grow substantially.

Something does not seem right here. Pilots are training to be based there but this certainly has the feeling of a position with not a lot of security for FLL based pilots.

I could be wrong and have misread the situation but it does not give me that warm fuzzy feeling one should get with a position like this.
