Delta 777/747 = 344 pilots/plane.
American = 173/plane.
United = 112/plane.

I just did the math, but I am not sure of what you are trying to say.

He's giving another way of showing airline widebody opportunity. A lower number gives a greater widebody opportunity. Other than that, it's just FTB's chart sideways.

Thanks scambo. Hopefully, the company know this and we can look forward to an order for 60 or so really big airplanes so we can even the numbers out a little.

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.
Didn't the Fed state that they would continue to buy treasury bonds up to $80Billion per month? Or did I read that wrong?

The speed line will be open for them. Good news for me. I have CQ this week. I'll report back about our new FAs.
