I think you're right about the 100 seat flying.

Hey Uncle Ferd,

I've had a sell order in for 2 years @ 15. It hit 14+ a few times, but never touched 15.......very shrewd on my part.

In sympathy,
BG

Hey ACL, what happened to your $20+ prediction for our merger to end all mergers ?

Regards......
I'm too nauseous to compute the current decline in value.

Sickly,

On another note, just flew with my first FNWA brother...you guys aren't so bad
He was over 60 with no intention of leaving until 65
We did have two different whale drivers jump seating, one took the early leave. The other mentioned that out if the 190ish early out letters 34 (or did he say 44?) were 744 guys. That will create some movement!

I know that Pravda said 192 applied for early out, but I heard it was 193 and that several of those have already rescinded their requests.

There is no need for being disturbed in my view. The stock price was $4 and change in March, 2009 and Delta didn't furlough a single pilot. On June 27 Delta guided for a profitable second quarter and 2011. The stock price is reacting to a host of analysts lowering earnings and geopolitical events completely out of the control of our company. jmo.

Check your sources, Sir. According to one stock evaluation service
as of today 10 of 14 analysts have DAL listed as a "buy" or "strong buy". Only 2 rate Delta as "underperform" or "sell". One analyst even recently raised his estimated price target to $20 after DAL failed to reach his previous price targets of $14 and $16 respectively.
The fall out from downgrades is still out there.

A step in the facilitation of such horse trading was evidenced today in yet another vote along pre-merger lines. We will see who runs and who's elected.

Sooo.....

It looks like we are going to have an election for a new negotiating committee.

"Pre-merger lines" indeed.

And the rank and file pilots are once again treated like mushrooms while our future is decided.

I got a bad feeling about this. Our scope clause might be in some trouble.

I'm worried more about our customer service culture than I am about the price of oil. When I see a DCA gate agent use one hand to shoo away a customer with a question, or I see an ATL gate agent tell a Diamond Medallion member that she can't board the airplane with the open gate door without so much as a smile and an apology, I fear for my future.

We fly the airplanes safely and professionally, but the public *expects* that. Outstanding customer service is what attracts and retains customers, and I personally intend to go further out of my way to both set the example and write up those who either excel or fail at making our customers feel like they're the most important people in the world.
