Oh, and what about all the capacity pull down talk?

I'm thinking we really don't want to see the next AE (or more likely, A MD).
This is Delta's model for pulling capacity out of the industry. Buy or merge with an airline, then shrink the combined operation.

Off the current topic, but can you use your positive bank to add to your RSV guarantee? Never been on RSV before.

My opinion only: Wait for a majority of good news buy ratings stating that the stock will rise over the next 12 months to some value that is 50% or more higher than the current stock price. When a good majority of the analysts are forecasting this, sell 100% of your position. It has been my model, and it's worked well so far. I currently have my entire DAL stock position...so far.

As well informed as you are, you would better be able to handle that trade manually and get out prior to the dip. I bet market orders have cost me $50,000 over the years.
Totally agree.

LOL.. that is essentially what Cramer says too... he says that when the analysts show interest, the stock has run it's course.

Makes sense. You can't squeeze a sponge until it's in your grasp.

Don't like the anti union rhetoric of the website, yet, the salaries are eye watering

You're not kidding. If those numbers are accurate I need to find out how to get a job at ALPA.

It's funny that one of the web developers is named Charles Yeager.

Anyone know if the ALPA employees took paycuts when their employers did?
