Now listen carefully, for I will say this only once...

The $10,000,000 per unit is spot-on. They're being bought by Jetstar! True.

We get $1,000,000 per calendar month PROFIT from mainline (ie over-and-above the difference between whatever the clunkers cost to run and what few shekels we get from the punters) - guaranteed - to operate them on current mainline routes (well...I should be more accurate and say route - singular - because we're starting with Argentina). That way we show a profit, we get more aircraft, we show even more profit, then we get them all!

Right!

Now that I've jumped in ahead of the other cynics who might really believe this nonsense, I hope none of them bother posting.

Hopefully it gave one or two readers a laugh - it was meant to be read in a light-hearted way.

But Buenos Aires would be a nice place to fly and I'm envious. Enjoy it boys and girls...
