As a reminder to all, go to "User CP", "Settings & Options", "Edit Ignore List" to add folks who post useless drivel...I just exercised it myself.

Airline Financial Data
It showed RASM for Delta & Alaska to be about the same, 12-13 cents revenue per available seat mile. Don't know about 3Q though.

4-5% for the winter. They want to avoid the traditional 4th Quarter loss. The summer 2012 block hour plan may be 1-2% smaller depending on the economy, but can change. SWA is doing something similar for next year due to the economy.

Um....excuse me, but last time I checked Alaska pilots were making a higher hourly wage than Delta pilots on the same piece of equipment. In fact, except for your two or three largest planes at Delta, Alaska pilots are outearning Delta pilots. Please explain the "cheaper" labor costs you referenced to me. I may have been born in a barn, but I wasn't born yesterday!
Please do some research before you post.
