I was actually in this case referring to our choice to fly a older fleet and avoid capital costs to boost profits. It might turn out great if fuel stays at 3 dollars a gallon. Might leave us in a very tough spot in 5 or 6 years if fuel is 5 dollars an hour and we face huge refleeting costs.
Stock buy backs should increase the stock price. We are planning a second one soon. If you buy back 5% of the outstanding shares the stock price should rise 5% all other things being equal.

And for a measley $1.5 billion, we could buy back 5% of the outstanding shares. Trainer and fuel hedges are giving us a nice advantage on the competition right now. Our debt is trending down, and the others are trending up. I like our chances.

Of course this was live TV and they didn't know what to do so they panned back to the studio to ask former 777 pilot Les Abend (who appeared to have a cheshire cat smirk on his face) why the a/c was unable to stop. Les inquired whether the autobrakes were selected to max. They flash back to mr. plaid shirt and ask him if the autobrakes were used. He replied something to the effect of "they didn't come on" and he didn't know why.

Trainer has done nothing but lose money. I think it has had one profitable quarter. The extra jet fuel in the NE has kept prices down up there however it pushed fuel prices down just as much for our competitors.

But there are a lot of fools in sailboats too, look at that couple who was just rescued when their small child got sick on their 'sail around the world'.
