3. Atlantic traffic (ASM) down 20% this winter but should recover in Spring
4. End of 3rd QTR have 5.8 B in cash
5. 2010 (ASM) down 3% from 2009
6. 1000 extra pilots but do not "want" to furlough
7. The main goal of the Company over the next 5 yrs is to pay down debt
8. No big A/C order during that time period.
9. All 73's, 75's and 76's to get winglets.
10. A319 and NWA 757 to add 8 seats
11. Live TV on All A/C except MD80 and DC9.
12. JFK. Plan to add jetways at both ends of terminal 4, tear town terminal3 and renovate Term 2 and join it with Term 4. Never been there so I hope that makes sense.
13. Announcement next week about new destinations.

None of this was confindential info.
Hope this is helpful
Okay, here is the layout.


What do you guys think?
1. Do we keep the flying saucer? Are we required to?
2. If we're knocking down 3 but keep the saucer then gates 4-16 are out but I wonder if they're going to do one side at a time. With Terminal 4 to use I could see how they could get redo 3 without ever losing a gate.
3. When do NWA planes start coming into terminal 2 & 3?
