Heyas,

We've heard all these rumors before. The DC-9-30s still got parked, despite the rumor otherwise, we still don't have E-195s or C-Series at the mainline to replace them. Still no "white tail" 330s, or new whales.

Just a few more aircraft dribbling out of storage. Same old union people who tell us we should be damn happy with what we have, and don't expect much in the future.

God damn it, it's 2010 already. I want my flying car.

Nu

Did you not get you're new car Nu?!?

or was that a DALS only thing?

:D

Actually Nu, you don't get a flying car, or 330s, or 747s or whatever until you start contributing and doing your part.



Where's the promised pictures of your neighbors wives Nu??



:D

LOL, I never promised anything. If you want to show up, and get beaten up by their muscle, you are free to do so.

Two things I've learned...

1) Don't believe in new airplanes until you are sitting in them.

2) See #1.

Ok, so there are 3 things I've learned:

3) Don't put anything on the swap board unless you really, really mean it. I mean, ***, people do you live with that thing on 24/7? I put a trip up and it was gone 5 minutes later. Good grief...

Nu

Yes, Nu guys need to pay for the commitments they made per BK and that means that they need to fly their butts off. Also the swap board does not get limited by max pickup.

Good thing my side gig as a crash test dummy lets me live a life of quiet leisure....

Nu

I love those people. When I didn't talk to my wife about my schedule plans in January and bid for a line I ended up nailing every possible worse case scenerio possible. The swap board fixed it all.

So who gets to fly the Delta 320 in Europe? :D

I guess its the basketball games. Its just funny to see pics of Delta 320s next to Air France 320s.

For the past few years the executives at AMR have been talking about requiring a 10% operating margin at a minimum to retain and attract new investment capital. This is what I believe the entire industry should be targeting.

One of the last trips I know of was flown by the #1 CA & #1 FO in MSP. The trip not including DHs was 3 or 4 legs. I believe it was a 10 day worth 68 hours.
