With the offensive in Seattle and now Boston, are we pushing Alaskan & Jet Bleu into a competition-induced merger?

OK Boeing and Import Export Bank, top this:


(Reuters) - Airbus Group and the Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB) are seeding a sharia-compliant aircraft leasing fund to cater to growing demand for commercial financing from airlines in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

The fund, which will exclusively finance Airbus aircraft, has a target size of $5 billion and could help boost the European planemaker's edge against rival Boeing in the fast growing commercial airline market in the Gulf region.

The European planemaker developed the fund together with Dubai-based Quantum Investment Bank and Palma Capital, and will seed it together with the IDB. Cayman-based International Airfinance Corporation will serve as fund manager.

Gulf airlines such as Etihad Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways have transformed the aviation industry over the last decade through aggressive expansion, while Islamic finance is a growing element to win business in the region.

"Our main goal is to attract new sources of capital to our industry for the benefit of our customers. Our market has become a lot more international, in particular in the financial market," Yann Ballet, head of project and structured finance at Airbus Group, told Reuters.

With an order book that is heavily weighted towards Middle East and Asia, Airbus was keen to develop an Islamic finance solution to cater to that part of the world, he added.
Given the prohibition against usury (with some exceptions) a Sharia compliant agreement could be quite the interesting legal document.

Boeing says it is not worried about losing ExIm financing...


But Schinfeld said he’s still hoping for last-minute approval, probably in the lame-duck session of Congress after the fall elections.

I don't know anything about your pay, but can you tell me a little more about this Ho training?

(note the authentic Atlanta locale where there's a Waffle House on every streetcorner)

Sky Talk: Pilots to begin contract negotiations with American in July

"Given American Airlines' competitive position, it is our firm view that meaningful improvements to our current collective bargaining agreement — an agreement reached under duress during Chapter 11 bankruptcy — must be on the negotiating table," the union said in its message to members. "We look forward to a healthy bargaining dialogue with the new management team that reflects the dramatically improved state of American Airlines and the industry itself."

Although the APA negotiated a new contract with American while it was in bankruptcy, the pilots need to negotiate a new joint contract that will cover both the American and former US Airways pilots.

And what's the point of your picture Ed? If it is to show that you can funk up the whole thread page, I say well done. If you are trying to intimate something nefarious, I will have to go with fail.
