Anyone get suckered into the recent gold fever or call selling hype the past few years?

Most of this was not new but here are a few take aways.

Anticipate 500 million net profit for second quarter

Capacity flat

Happy with investing in the product including facilities, lie flat seats etc.

Excited about GOL, Aero Mexico and Virgin Atlantic.

Completion factor the best in history.

Happy that they are and continue to increase productivity with no need for increase in head count.

Happy to announce the return of a billion dollars to shareholders.

Think the stock is undervalued and therefore have decided to repurchase $500 million of stock over the next three years.

Glad they have the best 80,000 employees in the business.

Believes the compensation levels have been permanently reset.

Ed acknowledged a pilot union rep in the back that he was pleased as punch to have on board and he is happy there is such great labor relations with the pilots.

I flew with a captain who had a funny line when our hands touched. He said, in his most feminine voice, "LAVENDER"!! :). Cool guy, fun trip.

Never forget to brief IMC situations! (Inadvertent male Contact) :D

Oh the Grizzlies are about to finish off OKC so one of you fifi pilots should be getting a call to shuttle them home shortly.

That crew is already there. I'm sitting in MEM now waiting to ferry the plane that brings them here back to OKC should they lose!

That signals intent. :eek:

Oh in that case you can grab a cold one because they are going to silence the thunder ;)

That looks to be the case. Close finish!

I get to call the Kremlin and go "OK, now what?" :cool:

Heard this week "he was such a flamer I wanted to puke"

Heard last week "yeah we hired some cute young ones but about half are young Fags"

This is 2013 folks, get over it already. And at a little Airline with the initials DELTA AIR LINES. I'm not even going to bother saying, um that's slightly inappropriate anymore. I'm just going to turn your a$$ into HR. Amazing how many left seaters can be all nicey nice when the cockpit door is open and as soon as it closes feel free to go in a homophobic rant. Tired of the ignorance.
