SWBKCB I ran that story through the bull**** converter, and this was the result!
Revenue flights climbed by more than 13% to 8,466, producing a record turnover of €28 million ($32 million). However with 2,540 of those flights empty, operating costs are estimated at €30 million ($34.5 million). That is not GlobeAir's only problem, attrition of talent has drained it's pool of pilots by 50%, a mere 40 currently available to fly its fleet of 16 Mustang, leaving the company to take drastic measures to bolster pilot numbers, by enslaving new recruits with more stringent contractual terms and conditions. The outlook for 2019 is a great concern for the Austrian Air Taxi operator, as we project they will struggle to make a profit and could well see another loss in the region of €2 million ($2.3 million) or more!
GlobeAir's CEO stated, "The biggest problem in aviation are pilots, they whine like little children and are lucky to get paid at all. That is why GlobeAir is working hard to rid our operation of pilots, by investing in remotely controlled aircraft. Only then will we be able to realise a profitable operation. By creating a truly unique service, our wealthy clients, are becoming accustomed to paying peanuts, for monkeys to fly their private jets"
