Yes. It should all be on the DALPA page under iALPA>Contract language.

WRT the RFP and used wide bodies, what is the current rumor floating around? Is there still talk about the A340-600's? 773's from India? Or something better? I read an article around earnings time where I think Airbus told Skymark they needed to work with us more...I had no idea what it meant but it seemed like a significant statement in the context of the article. I don't even know what Skymark does.

I would love to see this upward movement continue...or even accelerate a little.

773s are hard to come by. The India jets were LRs.

I'll give the 346's less than a 1% chance of happening.

I'll give 330NEOs a 99+% chance of happening.

A 2014 outlook might be a better benchmark to draw from...

Investment Flies High With Delta Airlines - Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSEAL) | Seeking Alpha

Delta has one of the lowest fuel prices in the industry. Owning a refinery and hedging should bring $350 million in fuel-cost saving for 2014.

The present macro environment is a high-flying time for the aviation industry. World passenger load factor (percentage of seats filled with passengers) is at historic high. In this climate, Delta Airlines (NYSEAL) has posted super-strong result better than the industry.

Savings coming from cost management and a stronger top line have granted Delta with free cash flow of more than $1.5 billion.

Going forward, Delta predicts that its operating margin will grow to about 15-17% in the third quarter on continued gains from its cost reduction measures and market growth.

Ed, that all sounds great! But for us laymen out here, do you know what the consensus is for expected profit for third quarter 2014? Thx

You guys are sounding like 10 year olds.


Kidding aside, I will always side with those looking for ways we can achieve more, including restoration rather than those justifying mediocrity as a way of doing business.
