Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
Julie Yates - Credit Suisse
Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. This is a question for Paul. How should we think about 2015 non-fuel unit costs, taking into account the recent wage increase and if a pilot deal work to get done sooner than later? How comfortable do you feel you can still achieve the less than 2% growth in non-fuel CASM again after such strong cost performance over the last five quarters?
Paul Jacobson - CFO
Good morning, Julie. Well, heading into 2015 as we’re developing our operating plan right now, we still have the benefit of further increases in operating leverages as we continue to re-fleet and upgauge the airline, so that’s providing a lot of tailwind. We do have some cost pressures in 2015 but we have those every year. So we feel confident about our ability to keep it below 2% again next year.
Obviously in 2015 the company has a 3% raise for the pilots already in the contract and a 3-4% raise for most everyone else. If they are going to keep non-fuel costs below 2% there are other areas of the company where they'll reduce increasing costs.

Despite the chaff I fling at Delta IT (TravelNet mobile not compatible with iOS8? Really?) I will say, ever since the recent server upgrade, PCS runs have been quicker...and the schedules were just loaded into DBMS in record time. See you on the swap board.

Reading the earnings transcript looks like there is a glut of used widebodies very cheap. Perhaps 25 A 330 NEOs/787-900 followed by 25 used widebodies. 777??

After reading the 3q earning call transcript I see used WB's in our future.
I vaguely remember a communication from DALPA about another way to verify a sick call. It had to do with a call in clinic that cost $25, I think. You called this place and discussed your symptoms with someone and could get some sort of a note that could be used to verify a sick occurrence. I think it is meant for occasions when your Dr is not available.
Anyone else remember this? I am looking for contact info for this place. Am I remembering this right, or do I need to take my meds again?
