I guess not all here are aware that when an airline buys a brand new A319 or A320 then that plane needs to fly around 13 hours a day, 7 times a week and perhaps the entire year to pay back for itself
PPM got a 732 that flies great compared to other DC-9s and 732s ferried to Asia & Africa. She cost a minimal x million dollars only. Yes, only. She does not need to fly 13 hours a day, 7 times a week and the entire year to pay back for herself. Have a few flights here and there and she's paid for. Let us tone down the negativism and hope management translates this asset into something resulting into something postive.
Besides, doesn't the entry of another carrier drive down prices such that we, the masses, benefit from it all?
