I find it confusing when it talked about regional capacity being +50% to -55%. It's just too much to get my brain around.

Our Flowback is limited to about 15 slots so I think we will be OK unless they do something drastic, which is possible. I certainly hope that they don't flush 90% of your list to the street.

It's so hard to know what the wizards are doing behind the curtain. I mean Delta and Northwest post losses greater than 13 Billion dollars and none of the financial markets say that much, because it's all on paper and they got to write off the bankruptcies.

CRJ200's are the most inefficient aircraft ever made, but we have no idea what they are using as a bench mark. Compared to a DC-3 I'd say the 200 does a pretty good job. Against a 777 not so much. But how many 777's go to Cedar Rapids?

I do know that even though I can fly anywhere I want for free, but can never go because the planes are full. I also realize that the tickets being used now were purchased 3+ months ago. The fall will really be the indicator.

I happen to think that raising the prices is the right thing. There was never a reason for the bus or cars to be more expensive than flying.


Good Luck my Compass brothers!
