And you guys think you are going to get a raise?? Frontier is adding 2 new cities next month and continues to grow while Delta is shrinking.

Frontier is the new bottom feeder and is siphoning off DALs customers every day. Even if you do see a raise, this group under its current management will continue to undercut and grow while DAL continues to shrink.
You need to look at Virgin America.

10yr CA/FO

$133/$87

I'm sure they're 'siphoning off' our pax too.

BTW, you're welcome for the flow through agreement we kept in place for you. Maybe you should have stayed at Piedmont. Perhaps you'd be better off there?

Frontier use to be 2nd behind United in Denver...isn't Frontier 3rd now due to SWA? "We will BURY you! Broo-hoo-ha-ha-ha!"

And, yes, we will get a raise...I'd guess starting at 30%. SWA guys get paid more than we do...and they siphoned off your passengers.

To anyone in the know: Why is the DeltaNet page showing prices for Brent Crude Oil, instead of Light Crude like they used too. To me, it seems more inflammatory to use a higher priced index. Just didn't know if there was a valid reason for it.

Guess they figured we wouldn't notice. I really don't think I care what oil is trading for in Europe.

We buy Fuel there too.

For some time they took off everything but the D-0 Metric. Stock price was gone last time I looked.

Nice selloff in advance, hating uncertainty and all.
