747-200s, DC-9s, and old 757s.

At the peak of merger mania synergizing, we dropped below 11,000.

Mergers are never 1+1=2!

You lost 1,400'ish post merger before adding back up?

Thanks. Was curious about those numbers.

Delta also merged just prior to the worst collapse in economic activity since 1930. Not really a fair comparison. IMO.

Doug also spent $3.6 billion (that's a b) on stock repurchasing.

At least he is financing all the new jets :rolleyes:

Major airlines would not be nearly as profitable today if it weren't for the 4 major mergers of the last 8 years.

Does anyone else think it's strange that we are actually making a lot of money these days?
