Hey, for all of you - should that be y'all since it's Delta? Anyway... for those laying over in DTW starting today until the 25th, the North American International Auto showing is going on at Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit. Which, happens to be very close to the long DTW layover hotel.
Check it out. January 12-25, 2015 - North American International Auto Show Open 9am-10pm. $13
What else are you doing to do in downtown Detroit in January?

If it had two engines it'd be a C-12, like this Army C-12:
Besides, with all of the A-7s they have on back order why in the world would they want to destroy one?

• Among airlines, American (NASDAQ:AAL) should not suffer the cost headwinds related to mark-to-market hedge losses, unlike peers that hedge jet fuel; Delta (NYSEAL) can expect a $2B hedge-related loss, Southwest (NYSE:LUV) should see a $500M loss and United (NYSE:UAL) a $200M loss.

In this scenario it's an international trip with 2 F/O's that is going to have a TOE on it. The senior perp will see that and try to swap his (non-TOE) trip with the JUNIOR of the two, if he is senior to the other F/O, the one who would be let off the trip, so now HE gets to stay home, the junior F/O flies the better trip and the guy who thought he was going to stay home....has to go do trash bags and water bottles on a TOE.
When I was a mid seniority MD11 F/O, this would happen all the time if I was lucky enough to get a TOE trip and be the 'senior' of the two F/O's. The way I put a stop to it was, I called the number one F/O, and swapped with him, after I saw that the douche F/O had swapped with the more junior F/O and I was going to have to go, vs. stay home. My buddy, number 1 F/O, got to stay home and I flew his trip, the best trip in the base. Douche had to get the trash bags and water bottles.

I does get counted against profits but is don't think it affects our profit sharing. When you mark something to market you are just updating the current value of the positions and they get counted against your balance sheet but you haven't actually realized the profit/loss yet.
After Enron and World com where they were hiding all their losses in shell companies, the Government started requiring mark-to-market accounting so all profits and losses were on the table and accounted for so a true value of a company could be assessed by potential investors. When they announce earnings there will be a profit or loss per share and then there will be a p&l per share excluding special items and one time charges. The second number usually removes MTM losses.
Our profit sharing is based on EBITDA profits (Earnings Before Interest payments, Taxes, and Depreciated Assets.) MTM fuel hedge losses are a depreciated asset.
I'm no accountant but that is my understanding.

American JCBA TA hourly rates exceed ours by 1/1/16
Group 2 19% 320/maddog/737
Group 3 23% 757/767
Group 4 17% widebody
Let the whining and spinning and "total compensation" nonsense begin.
The line pilots will NEVER accept less than AA rates. So the insiders will COMPLETELY disregard the contract survey and cut our profit sharing.
After all, what do the line pilots know?
