Hmmmmm.........let me get this straight, we earned 3% MORE than the same period last year, during an economic meltdown of global porportions, with fuel prices (in the reporting period) through the roof. Hmmmmmm...........can't wait to see third quarter earnings report which will reflect the slashed fuel cost addition to the bottom line.

At least now I won't be affected by the next administration's tax penalties so I've got that going for me, and that's nice...

You are correct. Now everyone is feeling the pain. Not a great position to go to the bargaining table with.

Dang, dude, I was joking. Didn't you see the smiley face thingy? I also defended you on the other thread when you were getting piled on for doing nothing. As for your insults concerning the Mighty C-130 Hercules, I'll forgive your ignorance. Now get back to your cake.

Good for the shareholders, but everyone else is going to take it in the shorts for a while. Long term everything will work out but let's not all start $^ck!ng each others @!#%s yet.

....tell that to the boys in the Special Ops community.

There's simply alot of things a prop acft can do that a jet can't --- it ain't always about going the highest or the fastest.
