How much of that 64 million was spent shrinking Comair?

Eventually our fleet will be zero and then we can start making money for Delta again.

Scoop and buzzpat held a mini-APC reunion in a jetway at SAN. It was spectacular. Carry on.

Now after three months on the 90, I know it was just FUBAR'd that day.

Had my first ALT ARM and VNAV CAP fail last week. About 200' from level off at 7000' it went VNAV CAP but then pitched over from 300 fpm to 2000 fpm and blew right threw 7000 and ALT ARM never went away. We stopped her at 6800.

The only thing I'd say is it was in pretty rough turbulence. I don't know if that played a factor but I, the handsome, dutiful and bored PNF just watched it and said "I don't think it's going to capture" and sure enough it really wasn't. Sometimes it over shoots by 100' but it seemed destined for another altitude of unknown heights.

I'd never seen it do it before though.

Because see that phone? Yeah, if that damn thing rang I could see myself getting up, walking over to it, picking it up and then slamming it back down. Then picking it up and letting it fall to the floor dangling by its cord. A sign to all phones on what will happen to them if they keep ringing.

Did not look at the volume, but I believe that Wall Street is losing its nerve wrt to DAL. We blasted though our 52 week lows a few weeks ago, got the added capacity cuts that I feared, and now the investors are at the point where DAL is not making the money they want, and CASM will start going up due to less ASM's.

I suspect that there is pressure on the leadership team to do something besides to stay the course.

Looks like the entry hatch is sized to only allow "properly proportioned" FA's below ;)
