Those are international numbers. Yeah, the percentage of international ASMs and RPMs are up by double and triple digit percentages, but the domestic ASM/RPM numbers are down, and the raw ASM/RPM numbers are down significantly overall. Secure from general quarters.

Oops. You are correct. Regional ASMs up big on international only. Down domestic.

Word around the campfire is the check we get tomorrow is roughly 1/3 of the total +/- for the entire 2014 profit sharing. Of course that could change depending on what happens in the 4th Quarter, but for a rough guess you can double your check that you get tomorrow and that should be close to what you can expect on Valentine's Day.

How is that possible? I thought we were parking RJs.
What is going on there? Was there a strike last year?

Regional international ASMs grew by 17,165 to 32,959 which is where you got the 108% growth in regional international ASMs.

However, compare that to the loss of 90,231 ASMs at DCI (domestic), which is triple the loss of seats of their entire international operation and 5 X greater than anything they gained in the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada.

Yeah they are getting smaller.

And no trips went to reserves yesterday, and only one today. Yesterday, there were 9 required, 0 avail. Today... same numbers. Where do all those reserves go? I know we didn't start the month with 0 available yesterday and today... tomorrow is already down to 10/6, and I'll betcha that will be 0 by tomorrow morning. Whassup wid dat?

DH to fly trips for other bases. Sketchy in terms of trip coverage for the base they are going to if you ask me.

I can sum it for you......00,01 hires aren't moving.....some say that they should be grateful that there are people coming up from behind.....dtw is becoming a narrow body base and we are honestly upgrading guys at lower seniority numbers but we don't have very many more ca's now than five years ago when you look at it in total....thats about it ;)

You think it's bad now?

Just wait until January when it will start raining 747 pilots down on top of you. :eek:

The US is fiscally stronger than any other country, domestic will be the bread and butter of the future. This is why holding onto scope is most important.

On an unrelated note, here is the Technical Preview for Windows 10:

I don't think that's it either, because none of that shows up in trip coverage. ATL had some reserve trip coverage today, but none of them show up as out of base pilots. They had 1 oob WS, and the rest covered by ATL pilots. NY had only 1 reserve trip today. ATL/DTW/MSP all have reserves available, so why would they DH NY pilots to any of those places to cover trips? But if what you are saying is correct, then line holders are being held hostage to capped reserve days for no good reason.
