Trying to figure out how to say it without outing myself. AE out next month, 330, 744, 739. Another AE out in Jan? That one to cover the remaining MD-90's, the initial 717's, and more 739's. Hiring is quite possible, capacity neutral til summer, then growth aircraft. Looking at more 717's, some in the desert right now. DC-9's now staying til 2014, possibly longer. 1.7 billion profit this year, annual interest expense down by 500 million per year. By looking west think SEA growth and SA, we need to get bigger there. Electronic flight bag to be introduced to the 717 as it comes on line with rest of fleet to follow. Company is going to purchase 60,000 Windows based tablets, Steven Ballmer himself pitched them to RA. Everything from training to cockpit access to wifi for real time info. If I think of more I'll post it. Most important thing said was "what you didn't hear is more important than what you did".
