Well, I believe Cam Newton is great, but not so sure our defensive backs will hold up against ARK's QB's and probable first pick of the draft's air assault... however, I have hope and I really hate Patreno so I sure hope the 6-0 cardiac tigers win. GO TIGERS!

I say all of that because I'm going to post this pic to correct Carl's sin but I don't want to hear any trash talking if Auburn fails to win. We're Auburn, we have girls that look like this below, we never lose. :D

Its really War Damn Eagle, but War Cam Eagle is more fun.

For full disclosure purposes I married a UGA grad. But I still brag about Auburn.... on anonymous webboards in the middle of the night.

Here here. War Damn Eagle! I'm also a little worried about tomorrow vs. Ar-Kansas. I'm actually more concerned about them than LSU.

*Married to a Vandy grad (and secretly hoping they add to UGA's misery tomorrow, no offense to your wife):D

This is predicted as an operating profit or net? Anybody know?

Even though Delta Air Lines is no longer the biggest in the industry, thanks to the Oct. 1 merger of United Airlines and Continental Airlines, analysts say Atlanta-based Delta should still be top dog for this quarter's profits.
Analysts expect Delta to report a $789 million profit in the third quarter . The new United Airlines is expected to have the second-highest among domestic carriers, with an estimated $484 million.
Herbst estimates that the nine largest U.S. airlines will report $2.4 billion in profit on $33.3 billion in revenue for the third quarter, making it the first year since 2007 when the industry has had two profitable quarters in a row.
"There is just a lot of pent-up demand," Herbst said.
"There are a lot of leisure travelers that just stopped flying and then this year, they decided to just go for it."

Ok. I've searched the PWA high and low and cannot find the answer. I figured I'd ask the all-knowing thread.:confused:

I've been on long-term leave and am de-qualed on my aircraft. When I return I will need 3 bounces to get current again. Interestingly I have a trip THE day I return to active status, which I will obviously not be qualified to fly.

My question: How do they handle this? Obviously they will have to drop the trip, but am I pay-protected until they can get me into the sim for bounces? How available do I have to be (ie weekends) to head into the sim?

iCrew has a popup telling me to call the CPO at least 21 days prior to de-qualing, which I did. They said they can't touch me (meaning I can't go to the sim, even if I want to) until I return to active payroll status. Anyone had this scenario?

Anybody out there an AQFO? Is it a good deal? Can you still control skeds well? Pay? Training? Do you specialize in certain theatres?

Thanks

The $789MM is expected net profit. The focus is typically on Net Income Margin which is the ratio of net profit to total revenues. Industry average was 7.2% where DAL came in at 8.4%.
This article compares the largest 9 airlines. I was at first a bit surprised at AAI. It doesn't look like they'll provide too much help to WN in the NIM category. Although, it may mean that they really can't dump too many cheap fares in ATL or elsewhere or else suffer NIM erosion. Herb and Gary Kelly has always prided themselves on maintaining high margins. Also, hopefully this will give the AMR guys a bit of leverage in contract talks.

Sorry man. I don't know what I was thinking. It was late, I was tired and forgot it was Friday night. I'm putting myself on probation for this.

Holy cow man! Do they all look this at Auburn? Wow!
