His inspired madness has not only brought forth some great airplanes that have furnished the necessary means (and yes, madness) by which hundreds, even thousands, of pilots (overall) have managed to keep their hearts, minds and bodies in the world of flight, but he shows NO signs of slowing down. And for that, aviation is a better (and more affordable) place.

Simply put, we'd NEVER spent that kind of money before... and the ability to consult with a number of experienced pros (like Jaime) was the only reason the whole deal ultimately came off.

"The third-quarter results highlight the continued importance of offsetting the rising costs of doing business through operational efficiencies, productivity gains, and diversification of revenue streams. Thanks to a strengthening economy and the continuing efforts of airlines to adapt to a volatile environment, the increase in costs did not stand in the way of profitability this quarter... Nonetheless, with costs likely to continue rising in this period of economic uncertainty, financial discipline remains paramount.” Source: ATA Chief Economist John Heimlich...
