I've been amazed at the consistency with which our stock takes a hit every time the company makes any kind of major announcement. "We made money"... stock takes a hit. "We lost money" ... stock takes a hit. The only thing that makes the stock pop (temporarily) is "we're cutting headcount" or "we're cutting capacity"

Ready fire aim.... Care to quote your source for that?
Here, I'll help you out:
Q. The press release mentions 767s as aircraft that are being replaced. I thought this was for narrowbody domestic fleet retirements?
A. Because of its range and size, the 737-900ER can be deployed to replace several aircraft types, ranging from the smaller 757s and Airbus A320s as well as larger domestic 767-300s. The new airplanes are not intended to be one-for-one replacements for a single aircraft type.

Q: Why is Delta buying these airplanes?
A. Delta’s domestic fleet is aging, with our many of our Boeing 757s, 767s and Airbus A320s approaching retirement over the next several years, in addition to the DC-9s and MD-80s that have been retired or will soon be grounded. The new 737-900ERs will replace these aircraft as they are phased out of the fleet. This order is not designed to grow the fleet or increase Delta’s network capacity.
So the order for 100 seat 739s will replace an unknown mix of 125 seat DC95s, 142 or 149 seat MD88s, 180 seat 757s and 763s WITHOUT growing the fleet or increase Delta's network capacity.

The problem is that "reasonable, conservative" does not apply to the stock market lately.

Junior captain is a year 2000 Delta hire or a 1998 NW hire which has been parked in position since the economy dumped.

He's talking about how we have regionals flying for us now with aircraft larger than 76 seats, ala republic flying e-190/airbuses. But since they're flown on separate tickets its allowed per our scope. This whole separate tickets thing circumvents our scope language and it BS
Question: How much revenue does Delta make on passengers flying on e-190/airbuses operated by that separate ticket? Answer: Zero.
In my view, management's contracting for DCI service with a holding company that has a subsidiary that directly competes with us is shortsighted. I'd like to see that PWA language improved.

Before you give me the mumbo jumbo ALPA approved talking points, we aren't challenging them on RAH, and we won't as Skywest shuffles ASA, XJ and themselves. We pay a Union to represent us and hope that they are looking out for our best interests.
ALPA is failing.
