There's a little truth in everything.

There's no money in cargo.

There's no money in Phoenix.

RJ's are self-financing.

The company plans to be in compliance with the JV.

Delta will be at $10B debt by the end of 2013.

Every plane can make money with cargo depending upon what the freight costs/pays to ship.
