Supposing you were running an airline and were unable to pay your staff. What might happen in a few months time to turn things around? What sort of thing would result in a large wedge of money allowing you to pay off what you owe and invest for the future?
New contracts, better contracts, more revenue, less expenses (especially big one-off like engine sv, c-check etc). Actually, people who never runned airline (or any other business) do not understand the difference between profit/loss and cash flow. That's a big difference. You can have a profitable business and have no money to pay employees and suppliers, and vice versa - you can pay suppliers and salaries but your business doing heavy losses.
