And you are correct, I receive an email several times a week offering sale prices on seats. I hope they find a way to survive while also retaining a competitive price, even if it has to increase somewhat.
You're welcome. At this point, I won't even venture a guess as to how much they would need to raise their fares in order to breakeven - it would likely need to be a significant increase along with discontinuing the fire sales.
Given how quickly they've been able to burn through their last capital raise, I would think that they'll have an extremely hard time finding an investor willing to throw more money at them.
