Three problems:
1. Management will "sweep the legs" in any negotiations with ALPA, no doubt lowering their overall pilot costs and decreasing overall pilots pay.
2. LGP decreases staffing needs.....once again.....less hiring.
3. The senior guys with the help of ALPA would sell the Jr guys down the river....once again. Think boost for current 25 year guys and decreased pay for those below that compared to what they make now.

OK. I haven't noticed that slant with him, not in the sense that he seemed to be offensive. Some of the exchanges have been a bit overheated, I'll agree to that.

Delta Air Rises After Increasing Forecast on Operating Margin
By Mary Jane Credeur & Jennifer Surane - Jun 13, 2013 3:08 PM
Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) rose after the world’s second-largest carrier increased the lower end of its operating-margin forecast for this quarter on strong travel demand and lower jet-fuel costs.
The shares advanced 3 percent to $18.61 at 3:07 p.m. in New York after gaining as much as 4 percent, the most since June 7. The Atlanta-based company’s stock had climbed 52 percent this year through yesterday, as the Bloomberg U.S. Airlines Index rose 39 percent.
Operating margin, a measure of income to expenses, will be 10 percent to 11 percent for the quarter ending June 30, up from a previous outlook of 9 percent to 11 percent, Delta President Ed Bastian said today at a conference hosted by Deutsche Bank in Chicago.
“We’re coming in at the upper end of that range,” he said. “June is shaping up to be a strong quarter. The revenue environment is stable, fuel is declining.”
Demand for travel is strong and bookings in the coming months “look solid,” Bastian said.

Interesting interpretation. I don't agree with you so I'm being a pessimist. For the record, I consider myself an optimist....but also a realist and observer of historical data that influences my opinions in the present and going forward. The end.

My apologies to T2: "G&LP" is, in retrospect, not funny. Sort of childish on my part.
