Thank you for the clarification (and your hard work). I’ll try to be a little more cautious in future.
No dramas, I'm not sure I'm completely correct either but I know it was over $100M and on the way to $200M, whether it was 150 or 160 I can't exactly remember but I do remember them stating that it was to save their regional network and crying poor (all those Federal subsidies weren't enough) and the MOMENT they got the money, they took out leases on the 737-800s and announced they were going to operate between capital cities. If there was any justice, a government worth its salt would have said "Well, do what you want but give us back the taxpayers' $150M because you got that under false pretences!!"
