The 8K Delta filed with the SEC today includes some indications of a phenomenal 3rd quarter.
For the full 8K which summarizes September results but more importantly gives some strong hints of what the Q3 2012 numbers will reflect are available for download at:
Investor Relations - SEC Filings

Guidance September Quarter 2012:
Operating margin 10 - 11%
Cargo and other revenue $1.2 billion
Fuel price per gallon, adjusted $3.15
Profit sharing expense $175 million
Non-operating expense $260 million
Capital expenditures $400 – 450 million
Interestingly also they expect a mark to mark adjustment on fuel hedges of about PLUS $450mm which basically wipes ot the MINUS $500mm mark to mark adjustment for Q2 2012.
That is really a strong indication of how volatile the fuel environment has been in the last 6 months.
More Interestingly they are already ascribing some of the current month Sept cost of fuel as benefiting from Delta's new fuel supply program, short-speak for the start up of the Trainer refinery.

Can't overlook a September completion factor of 99.8% and on time index of 89.4%.

Thought I'd bump this...looks like some pretty good news. Anyone have any idea where we are relative to last year on money put away for profit sharing?

2010 was 6.5% - I'll bet we exceed 7%.

I can't remember the last time I've seen a non-freighter airline(i.e. fdx/ups) running a 10+% margin. Absolutely love it!

Bastian came up to chat prior to an LGA flight a couple of weeks ago. He was going to NYC for a meeting with the virgin Australia guys, but all he wanted to talk about was trainer. He was very psyched about it...said it was coming together even better than expected. He also hinted at hitting the 10% margin threshold.

Usually the bidpacks can be seen by the 3rd via the backdoor... still locked down though :(

Nice posts today, mostly, made sitting here working and occasionally checking for bidpack, interspersed with L&G checks, enjoyable.

I can't believe the debate some of you are having about rep elections... at my base, all the old guys are quitting, and there is only one FO guy running and two Capts. I flew with a past ALPA LEC guy recently who told me he lost approx $30k/year when he was doing it vs. what he's able to make flying, so had to quit. I found him completely credible, and in fact more willing than most to listen to and agree with the bottom-third-lister issues. No point here, just an interesting data-point contrary to what I expected.
