Also, removing the liabilities will put the company in a better position in the next downturn.
the financial impact of the miles liability on share price is minimal as the value of faux mileage currency is 100% in control of the company. With a stroke of a pen, this liability could be reduced 10x and the only loss would be 5 low value FT customers.
It is amazing how many play the game of banking huge balances of faux currency then feel grifted trying to redeem the script at the company store.
