Shorting the market
49 787s by 2030. A 5X increase in production

I don't really even know what you're referring to this time nor do I recall what you were predicting back in January. Pretty sure you were pumping downgrades when the door popped of 704AL.

I'm going to sleep so I don't really care to dig up that post.
Pretty ironic you listing out someone’s greatest hits.

I'm going off pure memory here, but didn't you say 60 downgrades and something to the effect of you can take that to the bank?

Both downgrades and an SFO base closure could certainly still happen, neither one might happen, but just because they haven’t yet doesn’t mean that they won’t. The downgrades very well could be being avoided right now due to the VRBO and Incentive line options. Hopefully SFO stays open, but who knows what happens, too many unknowns to accurately predict much right now.

I think they are going to downgrade, PBS has really worked out far better than anticipated for the company so far. I just think the number rings in about half of where the company is right now.
I'm bored on a layover but here was OTZeagle1's prediction in May of this year. Regarding downgrades. I'm bored. At work. In a hotel. On a layover. So I had the time...

No sorry. You don't get to have a standing bid on bad news.

Predictions, especially bad ones, need to be timely.
