Ran over about 100 little bunnies taxing the C-141 in Spain one night. Did a slow speed reject, taxied back around and saw all the carnage. It was awesome.

Oil is plummeting right now...$84 per barrel & dropping on bad economic news. Good for airlines, though...this'll generate some big profits if it sticks around.

I hope DAL sold their future positions like they were thinking of doing, because if they did not we will see a loss of paying more for the hedges. At its current level (oil) we are about break even on what we did hedge, if it goes down further, the hedge position will put us in to the red.

SWA stock down 7% while most other airline stocks breaking even. I don't think Gary Kelly encouraged his investors much yesterday.

Yes they are, but even in a bear market there is money to be made. Time it right and you could very well create generational wealth.

In other words, make SWA pay.

40% of our fuel is hedged, and of that 40% is at around $80 a barrel. I think some people are a bit more careful now with hedging. This will really help USAir, who had zero hedging but was still making profits due to their poor pay to their own employees.

Rota or Moron? Smacked a good size hare myself once in Mildenhall in the 5. Blood all over one of the nosewheel tires.
