Do you see a major difference between Pinnacle 2012 and Comair 2007? We know how that one turned out, and "windfall" does not describe what Delta did with Comair.

United Airlines is poised to buy at least 100 new Boeing 737 airplanes in a mammoth deal that could eventually be worth well over $9 Billion. The deal will be announced Thursday morning at United Airlines headquarters in Chicago.

I have become addicted to The Big Bang Theory.

Sheldon rocks!

No contract can guarantee growth. None. You know this, but like to continue to "poke". It is juvenile.

So you mean they're quitting SWA and putting in their app to Delta? I'm pretty sure that would be the only way we'll have "FATTIES" here (insert F/A anecdote here).

You used a ... did you mean to use a ?
