I thought it was the , when was the big recent meltdown then? Am I thinking the following Easter? I could have swore it was thanksgiving. But it all runs together for me anymore.

Let’s see…there were the holiday meltdowns of 2020 and then the spring and summer of 2022. I can’t remember if t giving ‘22 was bad or not, but I know Xmas was. Only thing that “saved” us was being able to blame it on the wx. I might be missing some.

Ok, yeah, 2020, not 2021 is what I was thinking. When we had a giant pool of UNAs.

Christmas was bad, but luckily southwest had a meltdown of epic proportions which took the eyes off our huge meltdown :D

I thought Easter of ‘21 was a bad holiday because we had so many pilots getting vaccinated.

What to expect…

Q1 Loss of $363 millions, due to one time adjustment for pilot contract.

They blamed the pilots for $865 million cost, $735 million from the one-time payment and $130 million for funsies.

Delta also paid $695 million of debt early.

Q2 forecast is showing ~$2.00 EPS on ~15% margin which is pretty incredible.

…soooooo, they finally paid off $865M of debt to their pilots late then?

It’s actually called a profitable quarter, except for special items (pilot contract). 45% improvement on March Q1 2022. Pre-tax income of 217 million, improvement of 1.2 billion over last years March Q1. Paid down 1.2 billion in debt. Not a loss. A very good report. Forward looking is incredible. Very good results.
