It was entertaining reading. The VP hasn’t got a medical for the last several years, probably because he’s certifiably crazy.
Sorry, my typo. 747-8i, not 777s. He claims he will own 30x by year 3 but in his IM, he has the value of aircraft assets at $580m so it would seem his LoI with Boeing is ~$19.3m each. Less than half a new Max! That’s a great deal! 🤪
