The number RAH gave for GAAP loss on the branded ops was 70.5M. I would have to look at previous reportings a little more closely, but RAH may have claimed the expense of integration and the withdrawl of aircraft on a previous earnings. In loose terms, since those deals never reached a depreciation of what they expected, they must now claim the difference as income. It works a little better for this quarter (overall less net loss), but the company cannot double claim the expense to lessen the tax burden.
