Only if the Administrators have a fundamental lack of understanding as to what led VA into this mess in the first place.
For what it’s worth Krusty, I don’t think that’s actually a credible scenario. I was just trying to make the point that the highest bidder isn’t necessarily going to be the preferred option by the administrator.
From all the media - it’s hard to think the WBs survive. If they do - it will only be one of the current types.
And as for VARA - there is essentially no mention of them. All I keep hearing is one NB type. If you take that literally, then no more ATR or West Coast 320/F100. I just wonder if the advisors of the international bidders seriously understand the WA charter market. It makes money, has significant on carriage and is a pretty good for those WA corporate accounts....I sincerely hope that it survives.
