Its a hard sell that DL cut fares too much from 2Q2010, given the multiple fare increases that were implemented in the first 2 quarters of this year.
I agree, 'Columbia', almost $500M extra in 'other revenue', some of this has GOT to be staying in the cookie jar, though I don't think its all gravy.
They paid $2 billion down on the debt last year, and $700 million during this year's Q2. That's great and all, and I understand that they want to get the debt down to $10 billion total by 2013 to get $500 million a year in savings on interest payments. That's great. But, we are also a debt, and still have a BK contract. Either DALPA aims high and recaptures a respectable raise for us, or the DPA may get the next shot at it. It's really that easy.
