American Securities (or the company set up to manage the acquisition) issued $500B in unsecured bonds to "buy" Air Methods.  The bonds were issued at $100.  Today, they trade at $5.  Yes, $5!  That means the market thinks the risk of default is high.  It may also mean that the company missed an interest payment.   So, how do you borrow money to "buy" another company if the debt you already have issued is almost worthless?

Even if each of the 400 aircraft were worth $5M (they're not), that would add up to only $2B. What would AMC own after the aircraft that would add up to $500B? Did you confuse M with B? Otherwise, the math doesn't work.

Unfortunately AMC is run by 2nd or 3rd tier execs. They aren't Harvard MBA's, they are BYU, FL U, not the top. So, they made less than ideal decisions buying software licenses to useless OS's. They've made ok decisions for good times but now we are in rough times and the company needs to live with those decisions. The ELT has allowed useless software firms to sell them vaporware because they are wowed by the sales pitch. They also do not understand statistics very well, they come from the pre-excel generation , meaning they didn't learn much about statistics in school; basics only. So,yeah, gonna suffer a little but we aren't getting any better players...but do we really deserve any better? HAA doesn't make airline money, the value generated by each transport is way less than p120 airlines. Different league, really.

You know what?

It's time for tacos. A nice gwok spread over carne asada. That's business. Eat tacos, or try the new invader buritto, illegal buritto, or notchamama's enchiladas.

AMC closed base at El Cajon, CA last night (1/10/2023). Surprised to hear this because the CEO assured us in a company-wide meeting that no other bases would be closed after the last swath of closures in September 2022.
