Do you think that is reasonable?
Yet, we will fail. Count on it. Our execs compensation is up over 700% since chapter 11 and we won't come close to a decade ago.
Does that make sense?
Our annual fuel expense has been around 10 to 11 billion. Our you saying it has dropped to 3 to 4 billion?
Edit: the fuel bill for the last complete year in 2013.was about 8.8 billion. Looks like it will be about 10.8 billion for 2014.
