EOS In Trouble Already?

[Spooky 1]

Heard this morning that the EOS loads are falling apart, sometimes less than 15% full. To top it off, one of their flights had to ferry back with two pilots since the other one got beat up in a brawl in London.

Who's EOS?

Well, it does take a bit of time to get the word out, hopefully they have a bit of a war chest to overcome the first months.

185 million

185 million in startup capital, I think they have a while to get the word out.

In addition to raising $87 million in equity capital, Eos also received initial aircraft lease financing of $100 million from International Lease Finance Corporation. These critical business elements, combined with our unwavering focus on the discerning traveler and our unique in-flight experience, give Eos a solid foundation to build and sustain leadership in the transatlantic air travel market."

I did not mean to imply that failure was just around the corner. Probably a poor choice of words in my opening. Sorry for that implication. I sense that you might be working there and if that is the case, all the best!

Does anyone know if EOS allow jumpseaters to/from London?
