Flyi stock closed at an all-time low of $.96 today. The May 1 schedule shows FOUR A319's plus four CRJ's daily to CLT. This is two weeks after announcing that 319 service to CLT would begin June 1 with three flights daily. Four 319's and four CRJ's to CLT, I don't think so . . . Can someone explain to me how they are going to fill those flights? It reminds me of when they started, what was the frequency to RDU? 17 CRJ's daily?

but loads does not = yields.....if they are losing money on each flight, what good is it even if the flights are full? I think "The Street" (Wall St.) is looking for Indy to file for chapter 11 soon (judging from the stock price of flyi)...........this is one airline that might not survive in the near future...........there is still too much OVERCAPACITY!!!

Does anyone know why the stock closed so low? Did they file any documents witht he SEC today? Their internal auditor suggested filing in September, but not now. This is very interesting. And the reason they are adding capacity to CLT is to try to build revenue. They are doing whatever it takes to build cash at this point.

I don't disagree that their loads are good to CLT but they are not filling all seven CRJ's now. How are they going to fill four 319's and four CRJs? I'm just looking for an explanation; they issued a press release on March 29th announcing three A319s to CLT on June 1 and less than two weeks later the scheduled is changed to four 319s effective May 1. What happened in those two weeks? Advance bookings to Florida drop like a rock after April? They didn't know this?

Well I undestand that $0.96 per share is low, but you had to consider that the stock market hit a 2005 low today. Let's not write them off yet. Although the above post regarding overcapacity is an understatement.

Well today was a terrible day on the market. However having said that several airlines including AA, DL and Jetblue actually gained today in the midst of the sell off.
I think overall however the market is positioning the flyi stock in preparation for what is expected to be terrible first quarter earnings. Most analyst expect this years numbers to be much worse then the 1st quarter of 2004. Also afterall the company has like -50% operating margin, and precious little cash on hand.
The only recent real inside news this week was the company has its pilot union to consider paycuts and have the company stop funding their 401k program.
If anything a consistently low stock price under $1.00 will lead to the company getting delisted off the exchange.

Well I did some checking. It looks like DH new the loads to Florida were going to drop. Also they have the aircraft on hand by May 1st to start the west coast service (LAX, SFO, etc.). So it looks like the reduction in flights to Florida does not equal the same amount of flying to the west, so they had an opportunity to put additional Airbus flying somewhere and CLT probably fit the best.

If the CRJs are no longer the preferred aircraft (expensive to operate, pax dissatisfaction etc), then what will FlyI do with the CRJs on order? 34 aircraft ain't exactly nothin' to just dump somewhere...
Would FlyI be better off converting the CRJ200 order into, say, 20 CRJ701s instead?

I wish you Indy bashers would take your negative attitude and stifle it. Fares (and therefore yields) are increasing on the older routes, such as EWR-IAD and IAD-GSO, two flights which I took yesterday (Friday 4/15) at a price of $360. Both flights went out with over 45 seats full on the CRJ, and the employees were talking about how quickly things have been turning around for the airline.
Don't write this airline off so soon. They had a shaky start with over capacity, but that problem is quickly coming to a resolve.
This was the first time I flew Indy and I can see why people swear by them-- Indys fans will not let them collapse... they have built a VERY loyal following not only in the New York area, but in the DC area as well.

Those orders were cancelled a year ago and they have given some CRJ's back to the lessor. They are/will be operating with a fleet of 58 or 59. I guess the 59th is in court.

With respect, you are confusing a negative attitude with a REALISTIC mindset toward Indy's current situation- the cold truth is that Indy is only building its load factors via rock-bottom fare sales, something that it cannot afford given that its operation is MORE expensive to run than the legacy carriers it is competing against.
Mainline CASMs for the 4th quarter of 2004:
DH CASM: 17.8
US CASM: 10.96
UA CASM: 10.68
DL CASM: 10.23
CO CASM: 9.98
While DH has managed to bring its CASM below 20 cents/mile, it is still far and away the most expensive operation to run vs. its direct competitors.

The whole CLT thing could be based partly on the announcement by WN that they were considering CLT as a possble new destination. Perhaps a case of one LCC trying to beat the other to the punch to grab customer loyalty before the other gets there?
Also there must be opportunity here if WN and FL decided it is worth a shot.
Why put 319's on if RJ's aren't full? Well, that's economics and I don't know squat about that. I do know that just as some folks prefer an RJ over a turboprop, some will favor a mainline aircraft vs RJ. Perhaps a marketing strategy on DH's part......
Also, CLT boasts some of the highest fares of any hub in the country, so you could probably base your fares low enough to stimulate traffic yet keep them high enough for a decent yield.

Have you guys seen Indy's load factors? With their costs, and the fares that they are charging, they would be lucky to turn a profit with a 100% load factor.
I also think that it is rediculous to suggest that "Loyal fans in NYC" are going to keep Indy from going under. Im sure UA, US, AA, etc. have plenty of loyal fans too, but you do not see them being "saved".
I just hope indy goes back to what it is best at for the employees sake.

All of this info. came directly from the airline's respective Q4 2004 SEC filings. The data for Q1 2005 is not yet available.
UA and US might have fuel-excluded CASMs of approx. 8 cents, but they certainly do NOT have 8 cent CASMs including fuel. And there's no way in hell a virtually all-RJ carrier will have a CASM approaching that of a LCC.

With the 319's coming in, the CASM should be dropping. The 319's will help lower it, and the airline will find a niche. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Indy pulls through. As they transform from a feeder to an airline, they have many challenges. The tweaking and fine tuning takes time, and Indy knew they were not going to pull profits on its first year or two of operations. Very few airlines that start out rake in profits.
From what I have heard, Indy has very good service. That is important, especially as keeping customers is hard to do nowdays.

1. The CASM has already dropped - it was at over 20 cents/mile when this monstrosity first took flight.
2. As indicated in its 10-K filing, the business traffic that Indy was counting on to cover its sky-high costs did not materialize.
3. But for the mercy of its lessor, Indy Air would have died months ago. Their continued survival has less to do with any attempt to make the company a success than with the fact that a 50+ RJ fleet cannot be easily placed anywhere.

DH has polluted East Coast yields to a point where it ceases to be funny. I can't wait for the monstrosity to end, so that airlines that really have a halfway decent shot surviving can charge the fares necessary to do so.
