Wrong again. Anderson has repeatedly poo-poo'd the E190 and it's economics on numerous occassions.

How many seats? How much money? Do you see the 717 as an interim solution which will be revisited in 2015?

RA is very up to speed on the economy.

Is it possible his reticence to hire is fueled by a belief that another economic meltdown is imminent?

Or is does his new position in charge of the IATA indicate that top-end outsourcing is about to kick into overdrive?

I don't know about the last part but I was wondering about the first part recently. FedEx has been sounding warnings now for a few months. I'd opine but here:

The stock market may be doing well, but the economy does seem a bit tenuous on a number of levels.

I don't believe one word of this post.

And I am not calling you a liar.

That is a concern in the back of my head. The freighters slowing down are typically one of the first indicators of an economic slowdown (or recovery when they pick back up.)

That being said, it looks like their model may be changing from what it has been, which may cloud that usual prediction.

It's probably doing so well because you can't make interest nowadays so put it in the market. Or should I say nowayears.

Just misinformed.

Cloud's a good word for it. The economy is cleared for takeoff except it's fogged in and it's ORD and the 10-9s were ripped out.

Yeah the housing market where I am is going gangbusters. We'd make money on my house and if we sold it for the comps in the neighborhood we'd believe it or not make more than we paid plus everything we've put into it. Plus I hear there is pent up demand supposedly throughout the economy from years of not spending money. All good signs but there are plenty of canaries in the coal mine that look really sick.
