Currently getting 20% off my base plan (family plan $60/month, 700 anytime minutes) - gets me down to $48/month. Only $9.99 for two additional lines.
PM me if you're having problems.
no matter how you slice it, we are parking dozens of 100 seaters and part of RAH<DCI carrier >is buying dozens of brand new 100+ seaters. I guess we will see if the NEW DELTA PILOTS will prevail or have we already lost them. Time will tell. The proof is in the pudding.
Hi!
When I went to AU it was harder to get into the School of Veterinary Medicine there, than it was to get into Med School at AL.

I think that flying at the bottom of the list is very important for many reasons. For those that are only self serving, it keeps you that much farther away from the street or aghast, an right seat job!
Will we fight for recapture in 2012? I do not know, but my guess is things like pay will come way before recapturing 120 jets of our flying.
We better not cave on 100 (76+ seat) flying, but the ugly reality is where the economic are at that time.

A you point out a huge thing. Capital commitments. Yep, we are going to need new 767's, etc. Those airlines mentioned will be flush with our cash and eager to buy new jets to fly for us. The economics are ugly.
Can we use Overton's Window with this issue? Yep!

Here's a small bit of good news...I saw guys from Jeppessen delivering new ship-set flight bags to the sims today to start the ship-set test program. Hopefully we're finally inching our way toward getting out of carrying and revising our own flight kits.
There are VERY high barriers to entry...arguably higher than MD, but the fact is there are only 26 vet schools in the US.
Despite this, the ROI on a DVM degree is quite low, and the ROI on an MD, and even a DO degree is siginficantly higher.
DVMs have their own versions of "Mesa" and their own version of LCCs making things hard for the traditional practices. They also have a large problem with an influx of part-timers and people who do NOT price themselves according to their true worth (AKA "doing it for fun").
Add it all up, and unless you're in some niche specialty, your W2 barely nudges 100k. You need to be into a high-margin specialty, like onocology or opthamology to make scratch, or own your own practice, which brings a whole new set of headaches. The only thing similar to a MD is the balance on your student loans.
Most DVMs don't make squat compared to your run of the mill MD/DO GP.

Contingencies Related to Termination of Contract Carrier Agreements
We may terminate the Chautauqua and Shuttle America agreements without cause at any time after May 2010 and January 2016, respectively, by providing certain advance notice. If we terminate either the Chautauqua or Shuttle America agreements without cause, Chautauqua or Shuttle America, respectively, has the right to (1) assign to us leased aircraft that the airline operates for us, provided we are able to continue the leases on the same terms the airline had prior to the assignment and (2) require us to purchase or lease any of the aircraft that the airline owns and operates for us at the time of the termination. If we are required to purchase aircraft owned by Chautauqua or Shuttle America, the purchase price would be equal to the amount necessary to (1) reimburse Chautauqua or Shuttle America for the equity it provided to purchase the aircraft and (2) repay in full any debt outstanding at such time that is not being assumed in connection with such purchase. If we are required to lease aircraft owned by Chautauqua or Shuttle America, the lease would have (1) a rate equal to the debt payments of Chautauqua or Shuttle America for the debt financing of the aircraft calculated as if 90% of the aircraft was debt financed by Chautauqua or Shuttle America and (2) other specified terms and conditions.
We estimate that the total fair values, determined as of December 31, 2009, of the aircraft that Chautauqua or Shuttle America could assign to us or require that we purchase if we terminate without cause our contract carrier agreements with those airlines (the “Put Right”) are approximately $200 million and $440 million, respectively. The actual amount that we may be required to pay in these circumstances may be materially different from these estimates. If the Chautauqua or Shuttle America Put Right is exercised, we must also pay the exercising carrier 10% interest (compounded monthly) on the equity the carrier provided when it purchased the put aircraft. These equity amounts for Chautauqua and Shuttle America total $25 million and $52 million, respectively.
