Earnings call in 20 minutes.
Listen to our fearless leaders:

Investor Relations - Event Details

A nice piano concerto on there right now.

Why is it never rock n' roll?

Honestly, if they knew about it I really don't think they'd be able to tell you anyway. Pesky non disclosure agreements.

Uh oh.

More capacity reductions than previously announced.
Significantly more. Q4 will be down 20% from peak summer. Did he just say that?

Hard to believe we STILL have $13.8 BILLION in debt. How does this happen within 5 years of exiting BK?

I have said it before, and will say it again; ALPA National has heard us loud and clear on this desire, but there are legal issues, and end user security that they want to minimize before allowing this sort of medium to be the platform used. Things like a pilot blowing off steam that could be construed as a cal for illegal job action come to mind. The last thing any of us wants is to learn the lesson in a court of law where it could effect a pilots livelihood.

I do know that they are continually working on a solution to this. Of course many feel they are too slow, but I personally do not want them to rush to market on a program that may cost a pilot their job over one errant comment. I am sure that when they find a solution they will come forth with it. It is not a dead issue.

Meh. More RJ's being parked and EAS flying going bye-bye.

I also believe we should clearly state "not one more jet, not one more seat, not one more pound" as it relates to RJs, and I'm willing to try to buy back the flying we lost in bankruptcy (reset the line to 70 seats) but not willing to buy back the flying we've never owned (70 and below).
I want to correct this, or add to it. It is now 65 and below since they took seats out of the 70 seat jets and added a first class.

Also, according to some, at one point we owned none of it, so let be careful how we argue this.

As for SWA+10, I think we will open above that and do not see this pilot group voting in a TA that does anything except what you state above; SWA+10%

That is all personal opinion - I'm not an elected rep, and they will be determining what our priorities are after reviewing the results of 12000 pilots input via the survey. I have absolutely zero doubt that our opener will reflect the will of the 12000 pilots because I believe in our elected reps. The ones I vote for, and the ones each pilot votes for. They control the agenda, they control the timeline, and they will control the opener.
They do and that is why it is imperative that the pilot group hold them accountable.

Investors are not happy, DAL's stock is going to 52 week lows very quickly.
