Looks like Tsquare, Scambo, and Sinkr8 all went heavy into the carbs, for some serious posting energy.

Who switches to malt first, for endurance?

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

I just really do not care what he says, but what he does. Same with the entire executive leadership.

"Delta’s deficit excluding certain items for the three months ended in March was 5 cents a share, wider than the 4-cent loss estimate by analysts in a Bloomberg survey.

Stock performance

Including an adjustment for fuel hedge gains, a $39 million benefit related to an exchange of takeoff and landing slots with US Airways at LaGuardia airport and a charge on fleet and facilities, Delta’s net income was $124 million, or 15 cents a share, compared with a loss of $318 million, or 38 cents, a year earlier."


Okay, the above was from a story on our 1st quarter performance. For a "business challenged" individual, bottom line, did we make a profit or take a loss for the 1st quarter... In one place it says we took a 5 cent loss and in another it says there was a 15 cent gain. More specific question, In regards to calculating profit sharing, was there a loss or a gain? Thanks

Denny

One would hope. Lets see what comes out of negotiations. Many felt that LOA 29 fixed section 23.

Agree with the rest of your post.

Denny
I don't have any kids, and I agree 100% with what you said here.

Many more feel LOA 29 did NOT fix Section 23.

Very quiet, as far as I could tell. Not even comments on whether they wanted to get rid of more 50-seaters than previously announced. They did say the economics don't work.

I don't think that would necessarily be not smart.. but I don't think it would serve any useful purpose.

I thank many here are hitting on something though. This will be the first contract that will be negotiated with as much internet communication available as there currently is. It might be that a more instantaneous form of communication i.e. a chat room type thing (or is that an old concept?) to discuss the pro and con of the TA would be preferable to a paper that is but one man's opinion. Interesting nonetheless...
