Dow crosses 14,000. Many predict a further 35% increase in the next 3 years. The trend is your friend.

Looking at the numbers I think it's clear. We're falling behind. BUT, what race are we running? If the race is to grow larger, then I'm not jumping for joy. Especially when you consider the 787 unlikely to happen.
If the race is to grow margins, I bet we're doing great... which means I probably won't jump for joy.
9000+
as in 9000 pilots on the list in case anyone forgot the connotation

United has 98.
American has 49 (with 17 more on order.).
Delta has 34.

From: Doing what you do, for less.
In 2009, it was below 7,000.
This country, and the whole world, has a whole pile of financial problems that aren't being fixed. The problem is just being kicked down the road. As an active investor, the fact that the Dow hit 14,000 today (and its stellar performance lately) makes me very very nervous, not excited. The trend doesn't have a lot to support it and is very misleading.

All the posts on fuel burn are useless unless you include the planned taxi fuel and planned flight plan weight. I have found over the years that if you subtract the unburned taxi fuel and were at the flight planned weight you burn right on the flight plan almost to the pound. If your lighter then the flight plan which is the norm then you under burn the flight plan. Fly fast and you over burn the flight plan however if you were under the flight planned weight it will mask flying fast and make you feel like there is no fuel burn increase. The 727 would go very fast but sucked fuel doing it. The 767 can also be pushed up to .83 and again burns a lot of extra fuel unless you are under the flight planned weight and under burn the taxi fuel. The flight planned weight is supposed to be the maximum you will see so generally your under that weight when the actual awabs arrives. Weight more then any other factor seems to affect fuel burn.

Anyone know if the speedline is open on Saturdays and what the hours are? Believe it or not, this information is not available ANYWHERE on deltanet.
