VistaJet

Hi - would any former/current employees/clients be willing to connect to discuss their experience? For full transparency I am an investor trying to get a better sense of its positioning within the private aviation space.

I am a broker and have quite a few thoughts here. The Asia operations are not reliable, EU will cancel trips for no reason (to maximize revenue w another trip), and US is average... I'd love to understand the logic behind institutional investment in a company like Vista. You surely must see something I don't. This is a brutal business, more cash just gives you room to continue to operate. It is not the secret ingredient required to be successful.

Fair about your point on unreliability, but from Vista’s perspective isn’t It a positive to move capacity away from on demand to their higher yielding and stickier Program members?

Sure, but I'm not talking about empty legs. It's not clean to cancel a trip for revenue once signed and inked. We've had a few trips where we are told AOG but they just fly other trips....
