Sounds like Halter is saying our hedges are in the money, and are around 50% of consumption for each quarter this year.

I also thought he said he expects a 8-10% margin this year including impact of profit sharing. Maybe someone heard different? That would be rather extraordinary.

-86 AC, 36 mainline, 50 RJ (SF340 and CRJ's). With 777/738/M90 deliveries, that gives the net - 71 Anderson mentioned.

The forecast doesn't include "much" impact/adjustment from volcano.

Sounds like there is still room for the volcano to bite into forecast.

FWIW one way coach ticket Atlanta to London ... $6,000

Taking a boat from FLL to Spain $2,800, takes two weeks.

Your mother in law stuck on a buddy pass, priceless.

"Nothing concerns us" about further industry consolidation. Sounds like Anderson also doesn't view economy as the biggest threat. That would be fuel.

Funny Bar.

So I'm listening to the webcast, I think the moderator lady works for NASA and called the Shuttle landing this morning. Busy lady.

I like the question about are you done integrating with Northwest and how long until you are in the position to become an acquiring carrier again and what kind of airline would you be interested in? Paraphrasing.

The answer was that they're essentially done integrating with Northwest. They won't take the bait with another M&A.

That Hunter guy really would like to know if RA wants to merge some more. RA really doesn't want to tell him...

No seriously, my friend's mother is stuck in ATL. She's a teacher in Surrey and came to visit the grandkids during Spring Break. He just bought one of the six grand, one way, coach fares.

787 we are still "technically" buying them.



We're in good shape with Transocean aircraft.

RA says "technically", we're still a 787 customer, but are negotiating. We've extended 747-400 lives about five years based on improved lease rates. "We are "in good shape in terms of ocean-crossing aircraft right now".

Did it also sound to you like 787 deliveries and extended 747 leases were mutually exclusive?
