If they were not profitable they would not be so many out there up for grabs.
I hope the response to your post taught you a valuable a lesson, there is a certain close-mindedness which seems far more prevalent on FTalk these days
Dont agree with the sheep and you are get labelled a six grader.
One wonders some of the "experts" and airline CEO wannabes even fly but they are pretty good at flying off at the mouth
