Where are the passengers?

I agree to the question just where the customers should come from. Right now every operator is struggling to stay afloat and potential customers shop for the best offer before committing. It's a cut-throat competition and I am asking myself, how they are going to run this thing.

Airplanes do cost money and the hardest way to find out about that is by sitting on the ground fo a while.

I saw people being laid off from outfits which - apparently - had unlimited growth-potential, Netjets is sending 300 pilots home and so on.

Good luck, boys! I would not bet on your success. At least not right now...
