Having a realistic 5 year plan is unique in the airline business. I believe Mr. Anderson has pulled it off. We are stable enough to strategize that far out with some certainty.
Many airlines have had time horizons which were not even 5 weeks out. When cash is in short supply, very cheap airplanes and maintenance are your friend.
When you have the luxury of a longer time horizon managers can manage for marginal improvements through things like oil refineries and fleet upgrades.
And then there is the third track. Hubris used to lead to irrational orders ... like PSA flying L1011's up the west coast, or Braniff's pop & fizzle.
Cool Idea
Not a Profit Center ....

Why is ATL88B always last category to have bids published? Looks like we will have to wait until tomorrow. Bummer.

Is there going to be any OE in oct for 717 guys/girls? What about nov? There is going to be a little bit of a backlog if they don't get started soon?

Are there schedulers on furlough bypass who are trying to avoid the 88B? Scheduling the 88 builds character, but sadly not enough character to keep up with the rest of the bid groups.

I guess I didn't program my bids correctly for vacation slide. I even called ALPA schedule for help. No slide and almost none of the days I wanted off, ouch.

Can you change your log-in name on here? After looking at my Oct schedule I think I need to be "trashman." What a bunch of garbage trips?!
