I can only shake my head at what I've read over there. I'm not even sure it's not just some pot-stirring by a few people. Anyway, I couldn't care less. This business, this industry, this company is ludicrously profitable. What do you think Goldman-Sachs or JP Morgan pays their people in the 'up' years? I will hang my head in shame if we don't capitalize on this opportunity. I truly will. If we can't share in the boom times, then why even do this? You know when things get tough again, we'll get another haircut. It's not like it's anything like it used to be anyway. Domestic trips are insanely tiring and subject to reroutes. The flying itself is way more involved, all the VNAV crap and heads down time, programming and 'it's on you' clearances with multiple speed interventions and runway changes, guaranteed wake turbulence encounters because of reduced spacing. Hey, what more can we do for you???!!! International flying is still pretty good, but if it won't pay, it's not worth the damage to your body.
