Did, however, not see any mention of deferred payments or free maintenance, not even free pilots! What's up with that?
Andy said:I just briefly skimmed it, but it if I read section 16 correctly, the seller provided instruction to the buyer's pilots, flight attendants, and ground crews at no charge. It looks like the first 24 FAs were trained for free by Airbus; JBLU bears the cost for all FAs after the first 24. For pilots and ground crews, there are Xs, so it is unable to determine how many were trained by Airbus. It is most likely set number based on the number of aircraft that JBLU purchases.
Here's what I found....Andy said:Gentlemen, thank you for the compliment.
It appears that JBLU is now entering a maturity phase where it is starting to require a great deal of nonrevenue producing capital expenditures, such as the simulator complex, maintenance hangars, and terminal improvements. Does anyone have a ballpark idea of the outlays that JBLU is looking at and how they are financing them?
