Wiz,
Got any money invested in shares?
When have they ever sold shares to invest in? They haven't.
Do you take part in the day to day running of those companies?
If sitting in the pointy end and operating the aircraft in the safest and most efficient manner can be considered as day to day operations, then yes.
If they make a profit, do you expect a dividend?
Absolutely
12 weeks? I'll take it because we earned it, but I'm not going to prostrate myself in humble gratitude.
