Oh, I don't think credibility has anything to do with it. Most of my statements are just "amateur speculation", which I have posted a number of times. I consider myself an amateur airline analyst/strategist. I scooped the B6 190 purchase the week prior to the announcement on the ERJ and JBLU yahoo boards. I was chastized on both boards for making these statements by long time followers of both B6 and ERJ. Hey, I have a gift of being able to see the big picture and I use it. Do I have my share of goof-ups? Sure, but I still think it's fun to discus.
I'll give you a brief overview of why I love the airline business. Back in 1962 when I was 14, I took my first flight on an AA Electra II to Detroit. Just about every week-end after that for a few years,I used to ride my Bicycle about 7 miles to the SYR airport. Got friendly with quite a few of the workers/pilots who were generous enough with their time to take me on board some of the planes. These included the Constellation, Electra, DC6-B & 7, Convair 240/340/440. AA used to bring their 707's, 720's in for training exercizes and I got to go on those, which was a great thrill at the beginning of the jetage.
I never made a career out of it, as I have worked in the family business full time up until a few years ago. I now work part-time, but continue to fly commercial quite a bit to see some of my clients in the insurance business. I posted na, as I have no flying credentials. I posted the fact that I am an ERJ investor on my first post, but I certainly don't believe I'm swinging the price upwards from posting here.
All of the above is still not going to lessen my detractors, which is OK. I love a good pro/con discussion.
Thanks for asking
