A little positive news financially:
CHICAGO (AP) -- Fitch Ratings said Tuesday it boosted its outlook for Delta Air Lines Inc.'s credit ratings to "positive" from "stable" and affirmed the rating of "B-minus."
The ratings apply to about $2.7 billion in debt.
Fitch said Delta still has high debt and faces volatile cash flow generation and high jet fuel costs. It said, however, that Atlanta-based Delta has reduced debt over the past 18 months.
Fitch said it expects Delta to report rising yield, or revenue per mile flown by a passenger. It said the company has enough liquidity to guard against more fuel-price shocks.
Delta shares rose 14 cents to $9.83 in afternoon trading.

Poor Carl becomes a 744 Inst, gets 80 and I as students, we all think it's funny but too much horseplay leads to a sim breaking off the hydraulics and falling to the floor.
The company may not have been so ****ed at us if we had at some point stopped laughing about it. And posting it on an anonymous Internet site did not sit well. But that's okay, it was a strategic move as we slowed Delta down to create Spacklair and Cocks-N-Props.
Btw, it's possible to break a perfectly sim, I've done it.

I find it interesting that while the plug on ATL 767 B may be a early 08 hire, to get into that category the last few times you need to have been hired 11 or so years ago.

I'm still waiting for half the list to retire in the "next 5 years" like Super and others said during the SLI hearings...

Does it matter to anyone that none of us said "half the list was going to retire in the next five years?"

I'm on the junior piece of equipment in ATL. Only moved up 15 numbers. I expected to move up more than that given that over 100 positions are opening in ATL. Oh well, I have not held a line in over 6 years (3.5 of them here). I guess a few more years of commuting to reserve will suffice.
