Good catch!
Those of you curious about how fee for departure agreements work can get a rare glimpse into this confidential world by reading these competing Factual Findings.
(ACL, recall, I told you so)
I reiterate my post #36992. Like most of these small jet issues, I do wish that I had been wrong.

Justdoingmy job,
Mesa got an injunction against the cancellation of the agreement. That's a darn good indicator of where the Court is headed.
But another thing I hope readers catch is the fact no one thought of coordinated cancellations when they outsourced 60% of Delta's flying. The F4D carriers were paid for completion factor.
This is why we have the passenger's bill of rights and why DCI carriers would launch flights just to strand passengers on airplanes overnight. This is why Congress was compelled to fix our lousy treatment of our passengers which was a result of these outsourcing agreements.

Bar,
If you also recall either on here or in a conversation, I also stated one individual blew a lot of DAL's case.
Anyone? Anyone?

Must've been entering it from his iphone!
Today's near-1,000 point selloff in the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was reportedly caused by a "fat finger" mistake by a trader at Citigroup (C)
CNBC reported that numerous sources said that a trader entered a "b" instead of an "m" for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble (PG), a Dow component. The trader reportedly placed a sell order of $16 billion, instead of $16 million, worth of e-minis, futures contracts tied to equity indexes.
Citigroup said that it has "no evidence of an erroneous trade" but that it is investigating. P&G said that it was looking into the sudden drop in the price of its stock. P&G also said that it is working with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about what caused the plunge in its stock price.

I don't know if this has been posted, but, my thoughts and prayers are with this guy. And we need to assist the family if needed. Also, we all should note, even when we are having a great time we should be aware that it all could end in one punch.... Man, 23, charged in assault; victim is on life support | StarTribune.com
