No.

The success of the business is not in its ingredients but also the kitchen. Borghetti left a successful business to end up with a basket case business. VA is in a kitchen where the major competitor has everything aligned. The reality is that you need deep pockets, a good recipe and market share to win in the aviation market. Having 35% market share demonstrates that a business will not survive long term, and that was in a market pre COVID!

AN had 50% domestic market share with equipment and capital severely lacking.... It doest matter who is at the helm.
