Sunvox,
Things are indeed going well at the moment. But please go read the thread on the other forum about the recent management additions at UA. While I don't believe all of it and not to be a total downer; perhaps a polite devil's advocate view might provide some perspective here.
I'm sure we both remember all the angst, uncertainty, unemployment and many far worse things brought on by the last downturn in this industry. People were giddy with dollar signs in their eyes and feeling utterly immune from any potential harm. I sincerely hope that we never go near there again. It would be very prudent for all of us to realize that times are good at the moment and to temper ALL of our personal and financial decisions with the probability that things will not stay like this forever. Again, I hope I'm wrong, but I'm starting to hear more and more arrogant, ill-informed "Sunshine, Rainbows and Unicorns" hokum out on the line.
I can't dispute your facts about WB growth, pilot numbers, etc, but I hope we all realize that the buzz doesn't last and the next morning is always less pleasant.
Cheers and good luck to us all. The sun is indeed shining, so let's make hay.
p.s.
Sock it away, no boats, no Barons, no more than one beach/lake house.
