Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

DYODD, but AL is a good company IMHO... Steven Udvar Hazy started it, and he previously ran ILFC which never lost money leasing airplanes (until AIG got ahold of it... then I stopped looking at it.) The stock has had a 30% runup since February, and is building inventory... tifwiw, but might be a nice speculative play if you're into that sort of thing.

HUH? I was just posting a couple of stories

AIG never lost money on ILFC. What are you talking about?

anyway, since we're going random this Thursday ... go ahead and beat your kids ... for fun

I like the Giggle FX :)

That's how his dutiful "pravda" style MSM will attempt to play it, but it appears that's no longer working. Even little Baghdad Bob resigned in sham…uh, I mean, left on his own for completely unrelated reasons to spend more time with his family, or something.

But I wouldn't want to be in any when the comically large bubble starts to fall down around them and their inventories. They are filling up on super premium pre-construction condos in Vegas and Miami like its 2005.

737 = "Jane, stop this crazy thing!"

Maddog = "what's it doing now?"

717 = maddog that finally works

757 = outclasses them all

777 wishes it could be a 757, but is unwilling to give up the chauffeur or the country club membership.

I don't like to get political and I know I should wait until all the facts are out. But, I have the impression that the administration miscalculated on the Bergdahl trade because they see anti-Americanism as patriotic.

I try to be open minded, but on this issue, I'm left scratching my head for many reasons.

I can understand within the same days as you were scheduled to fly but why more days? I have a trip that ended at 1000 on July 3rd, why does the union think it's a good idea or even ok to add flying till 1pm on July 4th.

So if you want July 4 off why should you have to bid no flying 4 days prior to that day just so u don't get screwed because we gave up July as a 31 day month in the last contract.

That's a bummer!

Section 23 G.8. allows it. C2012 added 23 A.1.d.Note which restricts the extension of an asterisk rotation to one additional day only.

forgot to bid
