RA is the king of: "There is no money in: Fill-in-the-blank" or "its not part of our core business".

RA likes to shrink to profitability with two nice tools he can use. These tools are called outsourcing (via joint ventures) and increased pilot utilization (via greedy/hungry pilots)

He is a very smart and strategic manager. Like I said, DELTA is on a Diet. Short of any other unforeseen "Force Majuere" events; we will become a very lean and mean entity. The only problem is that the others will grow to profitability while we salivate over here. But it is not about us, it is about RA and his shareholders
