RE: 'Comprehension'..or lack of
Butch...your self ordained 'expertise' wears just a little thin after a while....might I conclude that you part the waters when you're not gracing this board with your ramblings.
As I've frequently pointed out , you cut and paste well, but your research skills are weak and your overall knowledge of the industry is somewhere between nonexistant and laughable. You have provided a great disservice to the honest enthusiasts on this board, your overblown ego frontruns your knowledge by light years . AMA will surely thrive or die on its own merit...your constant and misguided fanciful ramblings add nothing to their cause.
Much to your chagrin, I know where every Fin number from Caribbean Sun went. It might be relevant for you to know that Caribbean Sun had as many as 12 Dash 8 aircraft pass through their livery during their existence. In February of 2005, when AMA announced the contract with Caribbean Sun, they had either eight or nine active aircraft in the fleet. I can confirm that independantly, but should you think I'm lying, you might like to address the news release put out by AMA at that time.. ( signed by its management of the day )..it went out on the news wires and through Agora**** , their PR folks at that time. It specifically stated that they were contracting for 18 aircraft...8 from Caribbean Sun and 10 from Caribbean Star. If I'm lying, then your much vaunted AMA management were wilfully deceptive in a public statement....a rather serious charge....which way would you have it?
When Caribbean Sun finally ceased operations , their fleet had been reduced to 4 aircraft as they struggled unsuccessfully to stay afloat ( or maybe aloft ).....that revelation shouldn't come as a shock to ya'. Sorta' like The Big Three auto manufacturers shrinking as disaster looms. Who knows how many aircraft AMA ever installed on, if any at all, ....they are not renowned for being forthcoming with many specifics.
Possibly you could enlighten all the readers with a dissertation on your statement...'' if the revenues lost from a contract are below a certain percentage of their revenues they are not in any obligation to disclose''. I wasn't aware, and it's certainly not apparent, that you were an expert on disclosure or a Chief Financial Officer, but I'll look forward to the specifics, and what exactly that percentage might be?
And I'm most impressed with your previous references to the 'iron clad' China contracts....'iron clad' my arse....what utter nonsense........you just don't get it do ya' .
Your use of 'IGNORE' is predictable....you ignore anyone who can see through, and question, the nonsense that you so regularly offer up as 'knowledge'.
I wouldn't dare 'IGNORE' you....you are a constant but tragic reminder of why the penny markets exist, and how easily a fool and his money are parted. You reassure me that there's still easy money to be made out there.
