Binh Tay is like a chinatown, but in district 6.

Depends on how quickly they shrink the base and if you are frozen. It also depends on to what you are bidding.

I hereby eat my prediction that Favre was going down.
The old man was spectacular.
Watching Romo, it seems Jessica Simpson must have been at the game.

All hail the Viking girls.

Guys,
I know it has been a big pill for the fNWA guys to swallow to transition to mostly Delta stuff but its gettin' a little old to hear that everything was better the way NWA did it or easier or more efficient or whatever! Maybe it was or maybe it wasn't but good grief every single thing for you guys seems to be worthy of complaining about...Lets hope the changes come to an end soon for everyone!
With regard to the boxed items, once you figure it out it takes no more than a couple minutes to send off for the new numbers, put them in the box and run the change items.
If I misinterpreted your post then I apologize in advance, just getting worn out on all the NWA was better than DAL ...

Some clips from the chat with Richard

We are staffing up for the summer but remember the airline has shrunk about 10% over the last year and when we are forced by the economy to shrink, we must also take out all of the related costs. We have avoided involuntary furloughs - the only major airline to do so. Hopefully 2010 is a year of growth and you will see our hiring step up as we move into the peak season.
Haven't heard that from the horses mouth yet!!!!! I likes

The economics of the JAL deal have changed because they no longer want an equity investment. The other portion of our investment is the purchase through a sale/lease-back transaction of the JAL MD-90 fleet. We still want to do that. Overall, the economics of the JAL deal dramatically improve a loss-making position we have had in the interport markets.
He Used the word fleet. Are we getting all of the 90's?

The board has approved us to find and buy all the MD-90s that are configured like ours. If I recall it is about 65 total.
On a side note, C44 guys read the e-mail our reps sent out. Some good background that has not been discussed as of yet on the JAL deal.

I can't take the stress of reading this board. One day we're talking about barely avoiding involuntary furloughs, the next day we're talking about hiring later this year.
