Actually Herkflyr, the profits would vanish along with our payrates as was demonstrated by the actual 911.
I don't know why everyone is in such a hurry to get rid of or "monetize" something that we have already paid for in a contract. Let's go into C2015 and negotiate without regard to giving up our profit sharing. If Dalpa can't get us a pretty good contract in these times then our approx 2% each month for union dues is going to waste.

Fascinating webcast.
A LOT of positives, especially for shareholders. We sound very confident, maybe too much so, but this is a monster cash-generating machine. RA seemed to say so much so that debt is going "to zero". $1.5B back to shareholders next year. More upgauging, 10-yo A321's with VR2500 engines next opportunity. Used WB "painful" because of cabin upgrade costs. $300M VS investment recovered by end of 2015. VS JV growth for 2015 fueled by re-allocating VS aircraft slots from Pacific/Africa.
I missed the exact comments about getting pilots in pipeline. Anyone catch it?

Most important are people... Relationship with pilots very important... Relationship with us precious.... Would not be surprised/trying to craft a "win/win" by the end of the... before the end date.
There you have it.
There you have it.
Vacation slides. A negative number means you want to slide the vacation days to occur earlier in the month and a positive number means you want to slide the days to occur later in the month. Have I got that right?

Looks like the 757 fleet will stabilize at 90: 16 757-200E's with Lay flat seats, 56 757-200's reconfigured to 199 seats, 18 757-300's with new interiors.
Per the investor day call sounds like they want to grow Virgin's flights to the U.S. next year allocated from other destinations. Does that mean Delta pilots will be marginalized???

Where's the best place to read about this? PBS Guide?
Another thing which Richard mentioned... Dumping the MD88 fleet was a possible scenario. Remember the block hour ratio deal pump and dump... Not saying it's gonna happen but it makes you think...
