Mike the news didn't come out until after the market was closed. What bothered me was, 2.3mm traded (on a 2mm float[according to Yahoo])yet very little price appreciation..intersting to say the least..DD

<<<<FLYR is being spammed all over the place as comparable to IFLY with better earnings and $9 book value.>>>> Wasn't me! <ggg> I called the company early this am.
