No sense in going back and forth about this. We will revisit this over the next few quarterly earnings reports. With close attention paid to operating margins

When are we going to revisit the huge wide body bid? I open Content Locker every morning anxiously awaiting 500 new wide body positions but it never shows up. I’m also giddy with excitement waiting for the newspaper article announcing 75 growth 350’s based on this new great 1:1 AIP we have. Any day now….

DAL has been 2x the cancellation rate vs AA or UAL for most of the current quarter. It's more like dropping a bowling ball vs a hint.
Here's my elevator pitch, right out of a Tom Hopkins sales training manual.

"Isn't it better to cut your risk of travel disruption in half? Would that improve the productivity of your business? Let's get your company on AA/UAL. Here is where you sign for more reliable business travel."

MSP to ICN resumes three weeks ahead of schedule in October. MSP-HND is scheduled to resume at the end of October. Although theoretically accounted for in previous bids, it bodes well for a continued recovery.

We ain't gonna sign anything for another 2 years at least. Sure the majority of sections are 'closed' but the remaining ones are the hardest ones to get a deal on. And besides, I think the "Piedmont Point" just changed the landscape. But.... management is holding out for the recession so they can cry poor once again.

Next AE should be out this month or next. Lots to discuss when it drops.

Am I the only one that thinks of Johnny Cash whenever I look at open time?

"I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire"
