Or is does his new position in charge of the IATA indicate that top-end outsourcing is about to kick into overdrive? He must know ALPA won't stop it.
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:

Sailing;

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.

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.

That's exactly what you are calling me. Regardless that is straight from people involved in the process. The offered more pay to run more seats at DCI.

Sub-prime lending is becoming the law again. After that bubble, there's no bailout left. My personal target for re-shorting is late 2015.

The fact is that what you are stating completely goes against what many of us have seen RA (and others in senior mgmt) state about the E190 on a number of occasions.
