RE: Quiet boardIn regard to the question as to the timing of 'more' China installs.
Instead of speculating about it loosely on this board...why not ask Mr Tempany or Mr Hayden...wouldn't that provide the most authoritative answer and save bickering and debate? And before you fret over 'more' installations......maybe ask if 'any' installations have taken place.
There are many relevant questions...
1. How many of the outstanding 515 Chinese contracts are really expected to come to fruition?
2. Over what time frame are those deliveries and installations expected?
3. How many crews have been, or are being trained to do installations...where, on what A/C type, by whom?
4. Have the two Shanghai installations taken place as advertised by the end of September?
5.If any installations have taken place, were they done during 'C' checks, or during out of service time....what
was the length of out of service time if that was the case?
6. Are there any other known impediments to the Chinese contracts...the last word was that only the Olympics
were the final delay to the deliveries....the Olympics are over?
7. Have the bankrupt Aloha numbers been removed from the advertised contract numbers on the web-site?
8. If Shanghai got a publicly acknowledged discount...what discount did SkyService get?
9. Why were the 'install' numbers recently removed from the web-site?
There are many more good questions... but that's a fair start.
If you get the answers...publish them.
And by the way, I'm not revelling in the fact that the price has imploded....I'm not immune in this bloodbath...my few remaining holdings are getting skinned. I'm merely content that I had the wisdom to trust my own judgement, and not that of this board, to long ago have taken my stake in AMA off the table. When a stock is overpromoted and overpriced a shrewd trader will take the gain and say 'thank-you'.
It is all about money....not words.
