So you are assuming that they will blindly vote no.. and that is somehow a good thing? Really? Wow, they must be dumber than I thought.

As I have been saying for months and months and months... the reserve system is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to see.....

BTW, I'm also an investor. I'm pretty sure Gary owes me a good impression. If Gary isn't here to "wow" me, he better be great at speaking with bankers on my behalf. In the meantime, it would be good form for a former analyst to handle analyst questions smoothly.

Remind me of job description, again? Something Investor Relations something?
Nope, I admit I did not. Can't do that sitting in a courthouse.

Again though, he is here to get DAL the access to capital markets that DAL wants.

I too am an investor, and his actions will be a better barometer than his words. My guess is we will see what he is able to do later this year.

The PCS system and the Swap Board (along with the trip parking issue) are all interrelated. Reserve is definitely improving. It just needs to be de-linked from PCS, and the Swap Board and PCS need to be merged into a nice, easy, open transparent market for moving trips around, on a seniority basis (not a social network), for the benefit of all.

Speaking against the Swap Board is, of course, pure heresy, and I'll probably get stoned to death for it. But it only exists because our PCS system as completely unuseable because of the Reserves Required formulas.

Right now, if you're not in a park n' swap mafia, and PCS is your trading platform, you're SOL.

I get cold called all the time by guys trying to park trips on my line. My standard answer is I'm trying to swap something into those days.

OK, look, one part of title is Investor Relations. I get the access to capital part. I said he didn't impress me immediately. I didn't say he kills kittens, or that he pees his pants in public.

If you want to school me on what he's here for, listen to the webcast. Anderson said he was there to answer questions.

Well put. Something's gotta give in Section 23.
