I contribute to PAC. But dont you see RA is doing the same thing with Virg Atl, AeroMex, Gol, Maybe Sky MArk etc etc etc. All of our equity injections.
I think Etihad is taking a look at our playbook. They like our profits so they are going to mimic us on this new way to make money.

I don't think they're going to mimic us so much as count on us to continue to gift them capacity while they barf 500-1000 seats a day into every major market we fly to, then possibly offer to sell some of that capacity back to us or someone else for great code share success. They will also get in bed with the US LCC's who are calling plays from the same book. We pull down capacity on routes that they barf right back into so they can stay in perma growth mode and tag team us at our own game. To any extent we talk a big game about global dominance and *gasp* growth, they will call our bluff and count on our MBA's to continue to gift them capacity wherever and whenever they want to grow as they see fit.

I only spent a year on it, and that was 21 years ago. Much like UPT in Del Rio, it was both the best, and worst, year of my life. I never worked harder, or slept less, and I still have this twitch when ever I see one!
I can barely ride on the MD88 jumpseat without having a panic attack! Once I almost screamed out, "We're all going to DIE" while watching them do the taxi check!
There were hands flying all over the cockpit, clickers clicking, buzzers buzzing, lights flashing...
I did manage to say, "You guys work wayyy too hard!" And the F/O just turns and looks at me with this, "What are talking about?" look on his face.
The 777 will make you lazy, fat and stupid real quick, and Son, that's no way to go through life!

I just put a notice under the Layover forum, but for you guys based in SEA, here's a place where you can rent small sailboats for the day, and get your kids into sailing too. A friend of mine runs it, ask for Caleb, tell him Timbo sent you, he said you'd get an Airline Discount!

Have fun!
