You are correct the debt load needs to be reduced also to get rid of the interest expense, so maybe it would need to double PLUS another amount on top of that to be able to provide the environment for a C2K like contract.

Also "United +" was extremely helpful for C2K..... How's that working out for us right now? Ugh, and I don't see them being too helpful going forward....
Well if timbo said in about 2001-2002 timeframe max profit ever made was 1.2 bil and we could make 2.5 bil this year,I would say that's about double.

Worked well for him. His son actually plays football at the local high school, along with Wayne Gretzky's kid and Joe Montana's kid. Boomer? If you can play ball, come home son. The wife is off limits however.

You guys just need an extra challenge every time you fly. With great skills come spectacular malfunctions.
