"For us to get into the market now, have the availability of great, brand new aircraft at historically low prices, and basically being able to secure a low operating cost base for the future is a completely rare opportunity," Jonsson said.

Lydia Moynihan, business reporter for the New York Post joined Cheddar News to talk about why investors are excited about this shift in power, while thousands of its workers were let go in a less than ideal manner. "One of the headlines that emerged was that even as they were being fired, Foley sort of couched it as, 'well, you know what, you're still gonna get a year's login to a Peloton subscription', as if somehow if that would make things better," Moynihan said of the soon-to-be ex-CEO. "So, even in that, it was seen as a very sort of tone-deaf move as people were being axed."
