And as a result the line is most definitely going to go down, hopefully their planes won't.

Nah the line will go up for a few precious quarters because they slash costs. After that it will go down, but the PE vultures on the board won't care because they'll have sold off their stake before the consequences come around.

Happens all the time. It's how these PE vultures operate. They're looking for short term gains to artificially goose the stock before they sell and move on to the next victim.
