Just to summarize for the late comers:

1) The JAL deal may or may not be official.

2) If it DOES become official, then we may or may not see increased flying to/from asia.

3) If the flying does happen, it may or may not be diluted by our Skyteam partners.

4) We may or may not acquire some of JALs birds, which may include an assortment of 777s, 747s and MD-90s.

5) We ARE getting a new 330 sim. Whether this means new/used 330s as part of the deal is maybe/maybe not.

6) There may or may not be an addition 744 sim coming. This may or may not indicate additional airframes.

7) If our JAL bid is successful, our west coast feed via ALK will almost certainly be in jeopardy (Yes Alex, I'll take "Bad Outsourcing Strategy" for $500 please) by purchase by one of our competitors that sounds like aimar or Mousewest.

8) There is currently a SLI dispute going to arbitration.

9) There is still no viable 100 seat plan, other than to buy uber cheap MD-90s.

10) Gutter is a tool.

Agreed, but I use the resources given to us. SATCOM works well when overseas!

My wife would never ever allow that.

But, we're all wearing the same label these days and unprofessional behavior should be called out. It sure would if it were the flight crews doing it.
