"Today we reported a third quarter profit of $45 million. This result includes a number of special items, including a $432 million gain from the sale of American Beacon Advisors. Excluding these one-time items, we posted a $360 million loss during the quarter."

I am a little confused...it says there was a $45 million profit but then a $360 million loss...can somebody clarify this?

In the yahoo article it said there was only a $27 million gain from the schedule reductions...it seems as if that isn't exactly the gain they were hoping for or did they make out better than expected?

In the EagleWire Peter Bowler said that after Nov. 1st Eagle pilots can expect a "flat" schedule going into '09...is that to say we should not expect anymore changes? Or can we expect a lot less flying???
