And if AAX can't earned enough cash flow to pay the current payables due (default) or if external auditors will to impair the goodwill, intagible assets and deferred tax assets that send total net assets/equity into negative then AAX will be a PN17 company again.
I traveled quite frequently on businesses and leisure using AA/CapA services; therefore my observations of recent changes happening in their operation. First, from home to the airport, I tried two ride hailing services to see which would pick up my request. Last year, AA ride/Move hardly responded to my requests. This year, ALL my rides to and fro the airport are using AA ride/Move. Out of my curiosity, my conversation with the drivers found out most of them switched from one popular ride hailing service to AA ride/Move due to the benefits of picking up travelers from the airport. The code for the ride discount is displayed at the back of the AA airplane seat. The drivers told me the request for the ride hailing swapping approved within 2 days with no question asked. Next is the onboard food; I can get a good discount if I book online. On a recent trip, I requested a second pack of their chicken rice with the response of ALL being sold out. ALL their staff (except the pilot, ha ha) are good salesmen/women. I heard about flight delays mainly due to staffing problems. So far I don't have this problem; the most is sitting in a plane waiting for take-off permission; up to two hours. On the cramped seat; I have no such problem as I fit nicely in those seats. Of course I enjoyed my trip to the EU with transit via Dubai/Doha with extra leg room!! Only I have paid a few $k extra for comfort, give some and take some… I hope AA/CapA will ride thro’ this storm and I can continues my cheap travel..Tq
Tony Fernandes, the founder of AirAsia and the former owner of the budget airline Tune Pro, had strong personal and professional motivations for wanting to turn Tune Pro around and make it profitable again. These motivations primarily stemmed from his reputation, his investment in the company, and his belief in its potential. Here's why he didn't want to "lose face":
1. Personal Reputation: Tony Fernandes is a well-known figure in the aviation and business world. He gained significant recognition for transforming AirAsia into a successful and profitable airline. His business success with AirAsia earned him a reputation as a capable and visionary entrepreneur. Failing to turn around Tune Pro would have negatively impacted his personal brand and credibility. Business leaders, especially those in the public eye like Fernandes, are often judged by the success or failure of their ventures. Failure to make Tune Pro profitable could have been seen as a sign of weakness or poor judgment, which he would have wanted to avoid.
2. Investment at Stake: Fernandes had a financial stake in Tune Pro, and like any businessman, he would want to protect his investment. If Tune Pro had failed to turn a profit or had to close down, Fernandes would have lost the capital he invested and could have faced further financial losses. As an entrepreneur, it’s critical to show that you can make businesses successful, especially when you've made public commitments to the viability of a venture.
3. Brand Integrity and the Tune Ecosystem: Tune Pro was part of a larger ecosystem of businesses under the "Tune" brand, which also included Tune Hotels, Tune Talk, and other ventures. As the owner of these ventures, Fernandes needed to maintain the integrity of the Tune brand. If one part of the ecosystem (like Tune Pro) failed, it could have had a ripple effect on the others, damaging the entire brand. Given his focus on building a strong, interconnected brand portfolio, turning Tune Pro around was crucial for maintaining the reputation of the whole group.
4. Leadership and Responsibility: As a leader, Fernandes was known for his hands-on approach to his businesses. His leadership was often seen as a key reason for AirAsia’s success. Letting Tune Pro fail would have conflicted with his public persona as someone who takes responsibility for the performance of his companies. Business leaders like Fernandes often see their role as ensuring that their companies succeed, even in the face of setbacks. Failing to make Tune Pro profitable would have gone against his values of perseverance and commitment to his ventures.
5. External Perceptions and Investor Confidence: Losing face also relates to the perceptions of other investors, stakeholders, and the market. Fernandes' ability to turn around struggling companies was likely scrutinized by investors, especially if Tune Pro was facing financial difficulties. A failure would have affected investor confidence in his management capabilities and could have impacted funding or partnerships for his other ventures. By ensuring Tune Pro's success, Fernandes protected not only his reputation but also his ability to attract future investments and business opportunities.
In conclusion, Tony Fernandes didn’t want to lose face because his personal reputation, financial investment, brand integrity, leadership responsibility, and external market perceptions were all tied to the success of Tune Pro. By turning the company around, he would have demonstrated his ability to overcome challenges and maintain his standing as a successful businessman.

Are you kidding?
The AAX IPO shareholders saw Stony magic of turning their share from 10 (ten) become 1 (one).
Should they be happy or mad at Stony?
