Where it is trading is at the resistance line/level. It has gone back and forth in the 83-88 dollar per barrel range for a good bit of time. We will see if it punches though our behaves itself......

Sheeesh!! Thats good.

Took the words right out of my mouth! :eek:

Really. I do not like what is going on with AS anymore than you. Do not think otherwise. My comments of the AS code are not my opinion might I remind you, they are the business case for the code share. With a company like DAL in debt where it is, we need to pay it down and in the process bower from peter to pay paul. I am sure as the day is long that jet will not get parked, it is going somewhere else. Would I prefer to buy more jet, heck yeah, but they will never let a guy like me anywhere near the bank of this place :D

As for the last comment, trust me my views on scope have made people quite irritated. Seeing DCI triple in size while DAL cut for over half a decade is more than enough to turn anyone's stomach.

I've always wondered why Boeing went with a winglet for the 763ER as opposed to the raked tip which was already on the 764ER? They are essentially the same wing, no?

so I'm curious, who do you think is cheering this situation? I've not heard anyone do anything or infer in any way that they're happy about the Alaska situation.

You want to know why we do not own the west coast and Alaska does then I'll state the obvious, because neither Delta or NWA owned it prior to the merger and that sucks for us.

But if someone can come up with a way to take over the west coast I'm sure folks would love to hear it.

Hey, no problem. I'm not one of the guys that think everything fDL is the best. Let's use what works best. Our baggage handling has been horrible for years now. Use fNW baggage procedures, pay guys a decent wage, make ramp an entry level company position and move good people up, RFID tags............I don't care what they do as long as it's better.

You and I can bust our butts (I usually don't but I could :) )to make it a good flight but it means nothing when your bags don't make it in time for your cruise or you're washing your underwear in the hotel sink before your business meeting.

I've got an idea. Feed OUR OWN passengers into Seattle and LA and stop outsourcing to Alaska. "The market is too saturated"..blah blah blah. If that's the case, why dont we outsource to Jetblue on the east coast since the Florida to NY market seems pretty damn saturated as well.

I'm pretty sure it's the same wing with about a 7 ft raked extension on each side. The only drawback to the raked design I believe is the increase in wingspan for ground operations.

Just talked to Angie in the JFK CPO and everything DTW-Europe is cancelled and probably all Northern Europe flying. All airports in Ireland and the UK are closed as well as France, AMS, and BRU. Does anyone have a good website to go to to look at the volcanic ash cloud?

I beleive that everyone wishes that were true. I would love to buy a fleet of 737/320's or the like and do all of that flying, who wouldn't? I have tried to explain the reasoning behind the decision and I guess we can shoot the messenger. So be it.

Given the Alaska Marketing agreement in section one, the solution that also poses issues is a merger. Other than that, do you think that you are going to buy the company off on this deal? Not likely.

Push for a percentage of that revenue. Push for limits on the code. Those are ways to solve that. I do not like them taking more of our flying, just like you. Go read their agreement in our section one, and offer solutions!
