Comments on: What the Hell Is Going on at MAXjet? http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onlinetravelreview/2007/02/02/what-the-hell-is-going-on-at-maxjet/ The Daily Airline News by Jared Blank Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:18:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: askdanny http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onlinetravelreview/2007/02/02/what-the-hell-is-going-on-at-maxjet/#comment-814 askdanny Sat, 17 Feb 2007 16:23:22 +0000 http://boardingarea.com/blogs/onlinetravelreview/2007/02/02/what-the-hell-is-going-on-at-maxjet/#comment-814 Low reliability was due to delays in aircraft deliveries. This kept MAXjet from having spare aircraft available. MAXjet temporarily closed Dulles to bring reliability back up and to have spare airplanes in NY and London. The (2) new airplanes are being modified and repainted and will be put on line as soon as possible. There are still plans to reopen Dulles. MAXjet launched this week a sale of $499 one way. It basically is offering Business Class for the price of Economy. Yesterday it had its best day of bookings EVER -- and by a big margin. The call center reported three times its normal volume. Cheers. Low reliability was due to delays in aircraft deliveries. This kept MAXjet from having spare aircraft available.

It's a BLOG for God's sake. 2) I am more than aware that Maxjet is private. That does not exclude them from providing Form 41 financial data to the government. According to the DoT: "Large, certificated air carriers, small certificated air carriers, and commuter air carriers (each defined below) are required to complete Form 41 Financial and Traffic Reporting Requirements." In short, airlines (public and private) must file financial data with the government. 3) I actually think the former CEO was never planning on staying on in a permanent capacity. However, the timing of his departure (when the company was talking about how great it was doing, but its operations suggested otherwise) seemed curious. Perhaps it's not curious, but I think it is. I'll continue doing my homework... -jared 1) Of course my comments are an opinion. It’s a BLOG for God’s sake.

Where did you get your facts? Did you know that MAXjet (MY) is a private company therefore, they DO NOT have to disclose any financial data to the public. Do you know the reason why the CEO resigned? Perhaps not. Have you ascertained the cause for your allegations from an official at MY? I can only say that before you point the finger at any company, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!! I am not defending MY but simply making a statement that has valid interest. Your comments are in my opinion an opinion and your opinion indicates your lack of knowledge of the industry.
