BTW, I'm not trying to be critical. I'd just honestly like to know what you're thinking.
This is especially disturbing given that fuel is off it's highs. If you believe in charts and trend data, DAL is trading at a support level and most likely to go up.
But, as pilots we need to be concerned about the Board's direction to Management about our limp share price. Every time they demand "something" be done, that something is reduced capacity, which more often than not served by airplanes we do not fly.
There is no easy answer. All we can do is the best we can do to encourage customers to return and spend money consuming the service that we offer.
If we want raises, airplanes, or promotions, we all have a common interest here. IMHO Delta is not getting the recognition it deserves. I am not sure our business model makes a long term buy, but in the short term we should be priced higher than we are. I'd say DAL is a solid short term (sell with the rie just before announcement of summer profits) trade.
