It’s not really misleading if it’s only a prediction
That would be legally fair enough but obviously still misleading. The prediction being based on the high point of aircraft orders and then projected forward exponentially. It makes you crazy. Why can't they look at historical data rather than making unrealistic projections.
They need to be sued. Their marketing doesn't correspond to historical reality. It should be tested in court. Especially now. I think that we're in a 1990 situation for young Pilots where there were no jobs again for 6 years. The jobs finally arrived with the development of the LCC's.
