LCC fell 7%. I think we'll show a 2Q profit between $600-700M on record revenue. Oil is up to $92/barrel due to 'tensions in the Gulf', aka 'Iran'.

On a good note:

4 Top-Performing Airline Stocks With Strong Futures - Seeking Alpha

------------

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL)

Delta, like Allegiant, has been one of the biggest winners and surprises over the past year. Delta soared over 60% since last August, and has been one of the great success stories making such a strong comeback after its shaky past, dealing with bankruptcy and restructuring issues, and failing to become relevant in a tough industry. Well it is relevant now!

We don't expect the stock to duplicate its amazing past yearly performance, though we're still confident investors will see nice steady gains. The stock is relatively cheap compared with the rest of the sector, making it a good potential investment. Along with that, the business from top to bottom is solid, holding a PEG ratio of 0.12 and it has a lot of great things going for it—paving the way to a great 2012 second-half performance.

I'm sure you meant this, but for all the lurkers out there who get their contract knowledge from reading APC:

ALV isn't when you are done... It is when you reach your reserve guarantee , which is normally ALV -2:00, and much lower when you have CQ or vacation.

Clamp would actually be done if he was "just under ALV" (i.e. his accumulated credit is within 2:00 of ALV).

I have one...

1930 SC.

I got a call at 0130, showed at 0300, departed at 0430, high fived the surprised crew staggering up to the gate showing for an 0600 go and meets us walking off the plane.

Back at 0800.

Funny.


Sort of.

NYC yesterday...



I've seen this before but can't remember where...



Oh yeah, now I remember. There is a nearly naked woman at the top there with some weird dogs, and a big fat marshmallow man coming down the road.

Bumping this because I don't see how it's legal either per Whitlow.

Whitlow does not apply to DH unless prior to a flight. As for post flight with no FAR defined flying you can go non-stop. Was on duty one time for 36 hrs at the end of a DH. There is no real FAR limit to that, only PWA.

If your flying ends before 16 hours, but DH is past 16 hours, it's legal, as ACL says. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck!

They're pushing the boundaries, boys! Time to hire.

These boundaries will be pushed for the remainder of your career with the work rules in place combined with the retirements coming.
