The Trainer refinery is doing better than expeted, we are now in the market to buy oil tanker railroad cars to ship oil from Bakken. WTI is about $20 cheaper than Brent, further saving us money on Jet-A.
Well I guess we know now its not us....Alaska will now double in size and do the work with thier new 737 order.:mad: |

I think there's too much uncertainty in business right now with the Presidential Election just 26 days away. We'll have more certainty on Nov 7th.
This team has been doing the same thing for as long as they have been at the helm at Northwest and now, Delta. |

He did also said he didn't expect new hires until late next year due to an influx of LT MLOA returnees, such as myself. Also said they will flush the furlough bypass list before hiring off the street. He expected most of the bypass pilots to quit, but some of them will come back. I thought those guys have ten more years to come back? |

A merger with them now would certainly doom the existing FO's at Delta to the right seat for most...if not the rest of their career. Hope it does not happen...

Well Bar, durable goods orders (like aircraft) dropped significantly in August, because businesses don't know what their tax rates will be. These are just facts. This management team likes to have all the analysis done and everything settled before they make a big decision, and I personally think that's a smart idea.

The latest AP article about Alaska's order says 2/3's of the new ones will replace existing aircraft, so it's really a net plus of ~17.
