How many ramp calls will be required? I hope at least 4.

Back to the subject of earnings and profits.


Thus far, for the first 3 quarters Delta has totaled $1.2 billion into their profit sharing plan.

American? $139 million for the first 3 quarters. That's just 11% of what Delta is giving their employees.


Delta has a motivated work force. American does not. I wonder why?

A satellite terminal or two would be beneficial for sure.

You guys still call that the poverty line? :D

Hey man, that line earns me a couple extra hours credit each month. So, I think of it more as a bread line! ;)

Even if we had same formula as delta for profit sharing we would have a fraction of their total pool

My buddy that works for airport ops told me that the plan is to do away with runway 5/23. They plan on building a new concourse there that will be all the regional gates. But I'm sure that plan has changed several times.

That's because you don't know how to properly pronounce "Charlotte" on the radio!

And Delta has 30% less employees than AA for some reason (according to the Google machine) so that's a lot less to divide by as well.....

Because AA is full of unionized employees vs delta contracting out apparently

Yeah I just threw in extra bridge space for fun. Going by the previous design it looks like it wouldn't even be needed. My hand drawing was off but it was supposed to mimic the other side (A?) where all the other airlines park.
