I've wondered too. But yeah, don't want to find out.

I honestly love this! I read it and it’s exactly how I want to feel, what I want to happen. I don’t really remember the Berlin Wall coming down, I think I was in the 4th grade, but didn’t a pretty bad recession hit in 2 years later in 1991 and airlines didn’t hire for like half a decade?

This is what I read today:
However, Southwest said, revenue for each seat flown one mile – a closely watched measure of pricing power – will fall by 4% to 4.5% compared with the same quarter last year. In April, the airline said the decline would be 1.5% to 3.5%.
Costs per mile will rise by 6.5% to 7.5% compared with a year ago, said the airline, which is dealing with rising labor costs.

I have heard we a fairing slightly better, yield down about 2.5, while our costs are up about 5 points.
I believe, I just heard everyone has stopped hiring, to include AAL a few days ago. I keep hearing we will likely not hire before January 2026. I don’t know, I love the positivity though, I just don’t see it. I sure hope you’re right! Can Microsoft please buy Roku soon also🤞🤞🤞

Delta will hire 1200 this year. United is hiring as well but I don't know the projection.

see I heard from a buddy in audit the opposite

loads are down 2% front last summer but yield per seat is up 5%

that’s why the -800s are adding a seat of first class. People want to book bigger seats for whatever they desire. Low economy fares are out. Prieium “class” fares are In

but

we just renovated -800 for 12 first class seats but are gonna redo them at C checks for 16 first class seats

just seems like once again, we have the right idea charging for a premium seat but not enough availability at a time we want it.

How much is gonna cost to renovate these – 800s

Seems like Alaska always has the right idea but it’s slightly behind the curve.

one day I pray we’re ahead of the curve. Hope can capture the revenue when we covert the -800 the -6 first

I really hate our leadership and the narcissistic and pedantic leaders, but they seemed to have a knack for making money

I hope they can steer this HA merger makes us money and prosper in the future

seems like our leadership has the right idea but a dollar short and a day too late

It sounds like inflation is coming down. Maybe the fed will drop interest rates if prices fall too fast? The only thing worse than inflation is deflation.

You don't remember the Berlin Wall coming down amd the fall of the Soviet Union? I was a kid too when it happened. We watched the news every night at our house and I read my dad's Time Magazine cover to cover every week. The implosion of the Soviet Union was the biggest news story of my lifetime.

Maybe if you had a better grasp of how the world works you wouldn't have pulled your money out of the market back in February and missed out on the huge gains this spring?

We are slated to hire Q2 2025.

I remember watching something on the roll in tv in my classroom. The Gulf war seemed bigger when I was a kid. I feel like September 11th was the biggest news story of my lifetime, but that’s just my opinion.

I hope your kidding about the market. I made some ok money on a few shorts. SQQQ and TSDD have been losers. We will see how that trade goes maybe (45)k It’s not a lot of money. I made 1.5 million on a GME trade and right now I’m up $903,842 on ROKU. REAL TRADES, REAL MONEY. How have I lost any money. I think my ROKU trade will pay close to 6 million by late July! Maybe 14 million, if Microsoft buys them. I now have, 8.4 million dollars in one stock, when you do something like that, please come on and tell me your move. Most, will never have the courage to make this kind of a move, that’s the truth! I think I have a really good idea of how the market works.

maybe, maybe like 55… but if we don’t, we aren’t hiring in Q3 or Q4. If we can get through the summer of 2025, we don’t hire until Q1 2026.

And no that is not what I want, I want to hire 500 a year!

Delta is still hiring 1200 this year. United just reopened their application window.

OTZeagle1

I’m not trying to be rude but do not understand the correlation. So, of that 1,200 at Delta, how many have already been hired? So, UAL opened the application window, that means they could hire 2,500 or Zero right? Are they both going through a merger? Have they both just introduced PBS, why does that mean, we will or will not do anything?
