Well that is an interesting statement.

I like forward looking statements.

Speaking of forward looking, a few weeks ago, some rice dick measuring contests were going on with where guys bought and sold or held DAL.

What're the thoughts on the other mega mergers as far as which one will be the big play.

Dude. In April, my category has 159 pilots, only 12 pilots or 7% are on reserve.

There's no question DAL is short of airplanes.







And pilots.

Yeah, they aren't getting money from their gubbamint. Must be nice to be able to throw away an airplane that has probably 20 years left in it's service life. But it's a cultural thing I do believe. Gotta have the newest/best/biggest of everything. I hope they choke on it and go bankrupt.

Sounds like a good time to be bidding reserve.

Eventually, they will. But as long as the Texas tea flows, it won't happen.

Now, I know Bill Gates is theoretically the richest man in the world with 74 billion. But, but, but...there's that sheik in Abu Dhabi that bailed out Dubai and bankrolled emirates new aircraft order. I'm pretty sure our resident geek from Seattle doesn't have that kind of jack.

Yeah most despotic, family run governments have a way of spreading it out among family members so that it doesn't look like they have as much of the country's wealth as they really do. No telling what the house of saud is worth.
