Let's go to the tape (metaphorically)!
'Well, for one, they're down a cool $125 million after acquiring Blade
Air Mobility's US air taxi business, which HAS helicopters,
so they're going to HAVE to operate their helicopters to help pay for
the building of their aircraft, alone. '
Let's pull out the most salient bits now:
"Blade Air Mobility's US air taxi business, which HAS helicopters"
"so they're going to HAVE to operate their [Blade's] helicopters"
Since Blade doesn't own or lease helicopters, they are not going to
"HAVE to operate their helicopters", are they, Loser?
