Deloitte will have access to the complete warts-and-all dataset of booking profiles, yields, cashflow, etc and will be able to take a very focussed commercial view of proceedings.
PelAir is almost certainly profitable so there's a starting point.
There is almost certainly a kernel of profitable routes for the B737s, just as there are routes that have just been cash incinerators. There may be a play by exiting some routes and increasing frequency on others.
You'd have a good look at what's going on with the Academy. You'd also have a look at NJE - it looked like it was on the cusp of profitability at the end of last year.
There may be a path out of it, there may not - as the Zen Master was fond of saying, "We'll see."
