Well, while we wait for the AE results, here's a little light reading:

INTERVIEW: Delta chief executive Richard Anderson

It's a FlightGlobal interview with Richard Anderson. Nothing earth shattering, but he does discuss a number of issues regarding the company including:

-The focus on reducing debt and cleaning the balance sheet
-The search for a new and/or re-engined narrowbody
-Intergration issues and the end of the Northwest brand
-He sure spends a lot of time talking about all of our alliance partners which makes me uneasy

Be careful out there!

I understand Africa flying is highly profitable for the Company. Why are we doing this flying with no override pay for the risks involved?

What are you willing to give up for it?

I keed, I keeeeed! :D

No, they're still punching the cards and looking to avoid any "do loops." Now that's old school FORTRAN computer-ese my brothers.:eek:

You're dating yourself Buzz. BTW which of your books do you recommend for my liberal friends? I'm gonna make a contribution to the Buzz care plan.

Do you think you can break the refresh button on internet explorer from excessive use?

Probably either the first one, Dereliction of Duty, or this one, Conduct Unbecoming. Hell, get them both and buys lots, Christmas is just around the corner. I'm sure your liberal friends will LOVE them!;)

Not sure about the refresh button on IE, I've gone over to the Mozilla dark side.:eek:

Carl,

I'm not willing to give anything up, the question should be, how much is our Neg. Committee willing to give up and that should worry all of us. The current Chairman of the Neg. Committee told a friend of mine, "We don't rock the boat at DAL", and the context was related to a direct violation of the PWA while he was the Scheduling Committee Chairman.

BOHICA for 2012. :D

"...We don't rock the boat at DAL?..." If that's a true, direct quote, your friend needs to expose this. Write an open letter, something. Not whisper campaigns with no attributable source: expose the guy.
