It is real. Nothing I stated is misrepresented. The post I made a page or two ago took some time for me to craft. I had to distill thru 6 lengthy presentations from the various heads of the operational, corporate and financial sides of our company. There was a lot to cover. I also had to filter what could be brought to light and what could not. There's a voluminous amount of "can not". You'll see some in upcoming the Q4 earnings. You'll see some around December too. But I say wait to Feb - you all will then know how what I posted fleshes out because then it will be known publicly and I guess you can say "impactful".

I do think we should probably not be privy to this proprietary information least it be to all our peril. The information was entrusted to a top man and I would not want it divulged even if he uses the utmost discretion. Management secrets shouldn't be left to chance on the internet.

Don't care about your time there, I know what info is presented and what info is not to you down the food chain. Your Chief is not privy to the vast amount of corporate info. You have to take another 4 steps up the food chain to be exposed to that, and the chief's are certainly not part of that group.

As far as marbles, yep, not going to make anything available here on this site henceforth. Putting those suckers back in the ole marble bag. Thought you guys would like to know some things as the lot of you are kept in the dark on most of the important machinations ongoing at this company. Instead I get stupid comments like yours.
Interesting, If you were in standards then you are or were a pilot. If you are still here, the list of people above CSC is pretty limited so kinda narrows down who you may be. If you are retired and are still in a position to get info, the list gets even smaller. Either way, you are high enough up the chain that I don’t trust anything you tell us, especially as we head in the next contract.

We are not interested in ANY of Spirits jets. We've had our experiences, especially the 73 Fleet with the Lion Air jets. We are pretty much done with buying used jets from other carriers for awhile.
When we bought the Eastern L1011’s management said they were done with used airplanes.
When we bought the Kiwi 727’s management said they were done with used airplanes.
When we bought the Gulf Air 767’s management said they were done with used airplanes.
When we bought the 737G’s management said they were done with used airplanes forever.
When they bought the 717’s management said not too bad!

Delta loves two things, cheap airplanes and bastard airplanes no one else wants. The two go together.

It’s like an addict/alcoholic that wants to quit. Their proclamation may be sincere, they just can’t help themselves…
