No, means if we need 900 pilots, we outsource another 100 airframes to DCI, thus making the "net debt" zero.

Happy Halloween, ya'll!

Nothing wrong with wanting to spend more time with the dog. Especially if the dog comes attached to her.



But just watch out for the red flags. And this picture shows a lot of red flags:



And this picture has more red flags.

You talk about AMR, and imo, if they enter CH11, the result will be a industry changer.
SWAPA then better be prepared to give concessions........
