In business, I always try and put myself in the ot

In business, I always try and put myself in the other person's shoes. I usually gain an advantage having the instinct to see their position and motivation in dealings and negotiations. That being said, I will put myself in Tony's shoes with respect, although I dont know Aviation and his current obstacles, I do have a general sense of business and what I would do if I were him. He is probably working on, cant be done or have exhausted some points below but I will say it anyways. One thing about Songbird if they were trying to bully or wanted Tony to accept a plane that did not pass the check with flying colours, I would walk too. That may not be the case but just speculating....

1. Songbird - negotiate a deal if it can be done
2. Buy another airline like Songbird - if some member here can post a list please do so all of us can see what is for sale.
3. Look at the possibilities outside the USA, I know the name has been selected but if the FAA is giving us a hard time, lets focus on the world as opportunities exist I am sure.
4. We need a certificate, I dont care if a company for sale even has a plane, the big shareholders need to see that, I think after they see the cert, imo most likely they will want in to help get a plane, maybe easier said than done.
5. Look at junior airlines that are not for sale but close to breakeven or losing money, approach them.

Anyways, I am not in Aviation business so some or all of the above may not be possible or make any sense, before I go on holidays for 2 weeks and am absent from the board, I wanted to share my vision. I also wanted to disclose I am a shareholder and currently own 35 million shares.
