Weird, a recent DCLC course was told we are pulling 757's out of the desert to meet increased summer block hours.

do they ever share bad news at DCLC? Because there is going to be a lot of bad news this summer with the current clowns running flops.

You're looking at projections, it's been discussed here before, the numbers you saw for april and may are highly subject to change from the original questimate, that changes all the time (usually upwards). I would never say those are absolutes. Ever.

that's fine. like I said. subject to change. I was not guessing. Those are the numbers right now for May, trip construction has begun and will continue for another week or so. This is not long term strategic thinking, this week they met and decided to draw some down. This saves them TLV pressure, and fuel costs.

We will see what the final shakes out to be. Not looking for a trophy, Just thought I'd share. It just sucks that we get so little formal communication from our "Leaders" that this is how we find out about stuff.

Email is out. Solid quarter but Q2 looking like 45% less profit.

not sure how we boast about being #1 in on time arrivals in March…yet we were prob #1 in domestic cancellations as well.

45% less Profit with a $300m refinery benefit. Imagine what the 2Q numbers will look like for the rest of the industry. Delta might have a 90% share of industry profits in 2Q

"Delta Air Lines soared in premarket trading on a combination of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and stronger-than-expected first-quarter results ..."

Man, that 1970's-like oil crisis didn't last long.

A rising tides lifts all boats and crashing oil prices raise all airlines.

Q1 fuel costs only up 12%/gal jet fuel. Air traffic liability grew from $7.2B to $10.7B yoy. That’s a big jump on advanced bookings.
