but other than that, since we have to try and make a profit (which is somehow wrong), it seemed a fitting comparison to finding the one hockey player in existence in a country not known for hockey.

As for more 717's, are there any credible sources? There were some laying around before we got ours from SW, but once we did they all seemed to magically disappear. Either an orphaned airframe with so-so CASM suddenly got popular with tiny LCC's around the world or there is some creative claim staking going on akin to some of the early dotcom domain name land grabs.
At least we don't have to put delta-air.com on the napkins anymore though.

Luggageworks, get the metal framed. Expensive, but will last a career, and all components are replaceable and repairable.

Maybe instead of trying to take away the American taxpayer subsidies to EK and the other fake royal emerati, we can just lobby for a "me too" clause. To include blanket immunity from those pesky US labor laws and litigation of course.
We can fly hourly brand new 777-300's to every dot on the map with nothing but hot 20 year old skinny FA's too, to please big strong western businessman, for great success!

Your analysis is complete garbage. . Kindly stick to posting facts and we're all much better off.

You post is spot on except he promised the top 500 would retire early. Part of a long list of threats and empty promises to get us to sell a cost neutral PWA.
This time everyone is paying attention and that nonsense won't fly.
