I'm holding mine til the last day in case one of you brainiacs come up with something I haven't thought of. Mine is finished and saved. I've been working on the shortest essays possible too.

Care to share. I feel like a dunce trying to boil down what I want to say but also keeping the plausable deniability card out of it. Case in point Scope: Jets (no turboprops mentioned).

Airtran Deal Could Hold Southwest Back: Deutsche Bank - Stocks To Watch Today - Barrons.com
Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg downgraded Southwest (LUV) today to Hold from Buy on concerns that it will have trouble integrating Airtran, the company it bought earlier this year. Southwest plans to integrate Airtran’s routes next year.
“The key downside risk factor for LUV, in our view, is integration risk given that airline mergers are complex and time consuming as disparate technology systems, labor groups
, cultures, fleets, and facilities are combined,” Linenberg writes.
He dropped his price target to $9 from $16. Southwest closed on Monday at $7.97, up 3.6%.

Im surprised they didnt tell FL pilots they've got to repay SWA for their 737 types and 717 types. Payroll deduct.

If one hasn't, to summarize one of the steadfast points in the book, one must always take care of their "production" & "production control". (P/PC equation.)
To take the analogy from the book, they use the "Goose and the Golden Egg tale". The "Golden Egg" = "product" = "award winning customer service". The "Goose" = "production control" = "happy employees". Without one, the newly merged "SouthTran" will never have the other. Gary K. is literally killing the "Golden Egg producing Goose" by bringing a labor group into the mix with the animosity that the FL guys will carry with them.
Gary's myopia to ensure the culture remains intact will be his Achilles heal.
Fly safe,

I think we all agree on the basics of providing a secure survivor benefit but finding a good way to do it remains elusive. What if it was a fund separate from Delta much like the DPMA fund? Is that something that is doable? I understand avoiding "broken promises" but having the company fund an account that is not controlled by them might be the way to go.
Your thoughts??
Your thoughts??
I'll take the cash now, thank you very much; and provide for my survivor's on my own, without trusting Delta for ANYTHING.
