CEO Matthew Corrin said the company's current program, which focuses on offering limited-time menu items, isn't driving new traffic.

Interim chief executive Mark Zekulin also told analysts during a conference call that his previous projection of $250 million in revenue for the company's fourth quarter, ending in March, "is increasingly unlikely."Chorus Aviation Inc.
