That's why we aren't buying Boeings, the Arabs drove the prices up!
Why would Boeing discount their jets to us, when the ME Carriers will pay full price?
And for the same reason, (demand, or lack of it) Airbus will sell us their jets cheaper. Why wouldn't RA buy from them? You KNOW he loves a bargain and hates that the ME Carriers are getting cheaper financing on new Boeings, from the I/E bank.
Your Tax Dollars, hard at work...

Yes, but CNN, ABC, NBC, and CNBC are to the left. Deal with the fact that the liberal press no longer has a monopoly on feeding us one version any longer.

Now people like Gomerglideslope feel like this is a non-story and any news organization that does air this non-story should be denigrated. Gomerglideslope and the like want to save me from wasting my time watching non-stories by ensuring those non-stories never get aired.
I need to hear all sides and all opinions in order to make the best decisions. The conservative view is only aired on Fox News. That's the problem. It's that lack of balance that is driving the ratings drop at all news organizations...except Fox.
That he is, and that kind of attitude never helps. But a guy like that can't help himself.

No doubt. With 30 gates you can just imagine how many Heavy JV aircraft DAL could put our passengers on.

JCBA Update: Negotiations Continuing
As reported earlier in a hotline message, the APA Negotiating Committee presented management with a comprehensive counter-proposal today designed to address the deficiencies in management's initial JCBA proposals.
Management's negotiators responded by indicating they would like to review our proposal during the next couple of days and prepare a response. Accordingly, our negotiating teams will meet again early next week. The APA board of directors recessed its meeting mid-afternoon and will reconvene Tuesday afternoon.
Key elements of our comprehensive counter-proposal include the following:
Scope modifications (review details here with proposed changes shown in "track changes" form)
In lieu of profit-sharing, a pay component of 10 percent above the following pay rates:
Group I ? A 16.29 percent increase over the Jan. 1, 2015, MTA rate, but not less than the applicable first-year pay rate
Group II ? An increase to match DL 737-800 2015 pay rate
Group III ? An increase to match DL 767-300 2015 pay rate
Group IV ? An increase to match DL 777 2015 pay rate
Group V ? A 16.29 percent increase over the Jan. 1, 2015, MTA rate
3.5 percent increase on Jan. 1, 2016
3.5 percent increase on Jan. 1, 2017
3.5 percent increase on Jan. 1, 2018
3.5 percent increase on Jan. 1, 2019
Mid-contract compensation adjustment: On the earlier of:
The effective date of a new Delta Air Lines Pilot Agreement, or
The effective date of a new United Airlines Pilot Agreement
But not earlier than Jan. 1, 2017, pay rates in Section 3 will be adjusted to the higher of the rates in the AA JCBA, the DL CBA or the UA CBA
Make A321 pay equivalent to Group III pay
Average day value of 5:20 applied to "calendar day"
Length-of-service credit for pilots with furlough time
Improvements to Long Term Disability (LTD) benefit to include increase to monthly cap and duration
Fellow pilots, we are committed to securing a negotiated agreement commensurate with your sacrifices, your role in bringing the merger to fruition and your critical role in our revitalized airline's day-to-day success. As the pilots who fly for the world's largest airline ? a company producing the highest profits in its entire history ? nothing less will do.
