Cargodick it sounds like you are talking about earning potential. That's a big difference, otherwise you could say that jetBlue was the best because they use to upgrade in a year.

Never did I mention the year 2000. It was after the intial spike and fall of oil from $50+ to $42, post 9-11.

You seem to be a know it all as well, would you suggest that FedEx sell off the 727's and guarantee a profit to another airline. To me this just seems to be very short term thinking amongst the majors.

Your brother hates night flying? Isn't that what CAL's 757's mostly do. When was your bro hired he might have been in my roommates class?

Let's hope CAL can keep it together because they are running out of things to sell off (expressjet, copa, continental micronesia) while waiting for a turn around.

I work for an airline that talks a big game but folds faster than superman on laundry day when push comes to shove.

I don't work for southwest because it was never a goal of mine to work for them. I do find if funny that you think it's so ridiculous to even ask why southwest continued to chug along after 9-11 while the others started to drown.

ps you say that I have talent (thank you) but what do you think about my ideas. do they not make sense to you?
