Just three obeservations if I may:
- Wizz were always years (or half a decade) behind their own fleet development plans through the 18 years of their existence;
- the balls of steel approach is in fact an "it's always someone else's fault" one;
- historic performance figures do not mean much when it comes to future earnings (depending on km flown) due to huge
changes in the schedule without notice ("trial and error" procedure when opening new bases/routes leading to frequent
base/route closures if something is not working out; routes moved between bases (W-patterns, lately the world winner idea
of triangle flights), whole stations abandoned if the local government/authority/airport is cheeky enough to have demands and
not only offers) etc etc. Just check the short history of Wizz Abu Dhabi, aircraft stored, routes announced but never started,
flights moved around DWC/DXB/AUH and between WAH and WAZ. You make your maths today but it might be a whole different
figure in half a year.

It's also worthwile to check how the company is handling the (final) court decisions made in Ukraine and Romania regarding
the unlawful dismissal of crew members (happened way before the pandemic in Kyiv and Bucharest where the crew wanted
to organize a union).
