I thought that too, but I couldn't get the math to work out correctly.

Ouch. Kinda puts in perspective how far we've slipped. A 3rd year 757/767 F/O made more (ten years ago, using 1999 dollars) than our current rates as a 12+ year MD88 captain.

Just announced this morning that SWA is buying Airtran. Interesting, lets see if the DOT makes them divest anything to get this merger done.

Quick thoughts on this:

1 Unless SWA changes its business model there are 80+ 717s that will be coming on the market

2. SWA has nowrecieved access to NYC via UAL/CAL and this acquisition. This should allow our deal with USAir to go through

3. ATL is going to be come a tougher O/D market

4 Alaska? The consolidation party is picking up steam...

Might be the answer we need in LGA to get this slot swap approved with no slots being divested. AAI has a lot of slots up there as well.

AMR needs to do something and quick. So does LLC.

If I were AS, B6, NKS or HI I would be expecting it.

If I were Virgin America, I would pray someone would buy us.

Looks like the Air Tran pilots joined ALPA just in time! (I kid. I kid.)


That SLI will be fun to watch.

I'd be surprised if they sold those to the competition. But, you never know.
