you can put your zipcode in there as well. When you look at it you realize where the money is.

My current abode scores an 82.

The town I was born and raised? an 11.

So I guess I'm moving in the right direction.

Impressive jump. I went from 45 to 92.

Default Investors Conference

Just remember, management is selling it as a permanent reset. Stay humble. Don't get greedy.



"We also understand the importance of keeping all of our people together and investing in our people and in that labor and in the success that drives the improvements that you've seen in the business. This is not a company that still has any debts to pay, bills coming due on the labor front. We are current, everything's in our run rate, and we expect from here just continued outperformance as we look forward."

Do you think this means we will get a turkey sandwich for Christmas now?

Umm. No.

Not that it is relevant, however, this is airline number three. One regional and two majors. This is the only one that does not have holiday meals in the lounges for pilots. Apparently they do for everyone else.

At the other airlines, the turkey dinner was for all the employees on duty in one lounge together.

We are truly numbers here.

If you are going for lowest possible price confirmed seats go straight for fly confirmed for even less.

Use delta.com or kayak.com to find the lowest possible ticket price. Then plug those flights into the fly confirmed for even less template and you will get the discount on the lowest priced tickets you could find.

Typically the lowest price tickets are non-refundable anyways so nothing is lost by using the non-refundable fly confirmed for even less option.

Stay away from the "refundable" fly confirmed for less.
While it sounds like those ticket are refundable, that's only true if the pre-discount fare basis was refundable. If the pre-discount fare is non-refundable, then the fly confirmed for less "refundable" ticket is also non-refundable...

Most likely you aren't looking at full fare refundable tickets anyways if you're asking about the discount program ;-)

It's a great program to knock some money off a confirmed ticket when you can't afford to play roulette with non-reving...

Cheers

Do you think the flight attendants will get mad if I raid their lounge? I mean it is Christmas. Maybe they will show me some of that giving spirit?

Well, I'm one of those farm boy-to pilots sort of things. Can't explain it, we just sorta understand how mechanical sh%t works.
