Small aircraft are cheap, at the moment its more about making money to get moving, not waiting several real days to order that first 737 when you could have had 5 smaller, slower aircraft that are making 4x the profit.
Starting out with such a great aircraft this time growth is much faster...but even then just ordered a Shorts 330-100...its slow, 30 seats, and can only go 1040 miles, but since its slow it wont be going on those 1000 mile flights, it will be sent to several small regional airports instead therefore maximizing the profit from it. Fit it onto as many short hops as possible instead of just a couple long ones. Probably order several more and do the same...then once profits begin to grow faster and money is easier to save, start ordering better aircraft and eventually sell the 330s. Its better to start small and grow large then to wait out for a 100 million for that first aircraft purchase which could take forever. Several small aircraft are better then one large one :wink:
