How DARE they make money!! :eek::rolleyes:

(After how many years of losing how many Billions??)

Stand by for more of that, as soon as the Q2 earnings are announced. I expect they will want the industry re-regulated, so they can still buy $199 tickets.

Funny, I never hear the talking heads talking about BP making $10 Billion per quarter, even after dumping a zillion gallons of crude into the gulf. Watch their earnings skyrocket now, with the Iraq thing driving oil prices up.

But you won't hear the morons on TV crying to regulate that industry.

I think a whole bunch of other guys have figured that out, thus the company wants to crack down on sick calls, which I think will only increase as summer goes on.

Hey i never paid attention to this before but when you travel international, say SEA, and you come through customs do you get your checked bags back and then recheck them in for your next leg?

Just an observation, and wondering if anyone can chime in. I've been on the 7ERB out of LAX for a couple of years, and I've never seen reserve coverage so bad! Wanted to move a few days around, but there's not a single blue day in the month of July, and in fact, the reserve required vs available is way under water for every day of the month. It was the same in June. By contrast, ATL has 15 blue days, SEA-19, MSP-24,(but NYC only 4.)
What does the 4th floor have against us west coast guys?
Maybe I'm just imagining a bias! :cool:

My kids use "First-World Problems…" to nudge whiners back to reality. Would that work here?
