Now Buzz,
You know it was hard enough to root for them in the Super Bowl last year. Aaron Rogers is a great guy and all, but as a Bears fan you know......
But, you guys look great this year, too. Looks like the Thanksgiving Packers/Lions game might be something to look forward to for once.

Denny, there is no question that the change to the D&S survivor benefit was a bankruptcy concession. I'm not saying it's "raining", but that it "rained." The deal we have now is not financially better than the previous D&S promise as long as that promise continues to pay. With the benefit of experience I don't want to go back to an unfunded promise to pay, as I've seen that promise broken. IF we could get a survivor annuity or some form of retiree insurance funded by Delta that's in our own name, then I might be interested. But just because the D&S Trust was unfunded in the 90's and currently has money is no guarantee that there will be money there when my survivors need it.
I don't think I'm crying wolf, but ymmv.

Is the D&S plan protected by ERSIA? If it is, I would think the company would have a hard time getting rid of it outside of bankruptcy and even inside of bankruptcy if the plan is close to being self funding. I know this would be a hard if not impossible question to answer but how close is the plan to being self funding? I know it all depends on the investment return but I would be curious how it has performed in the last few years and what it's expenses each year have been. Before I make a decision about what I'd like, I'd want to see the actual numbers of potential future survivors receiving benefits that you alluded to in a previous post.
Thanks for the civil discussion.
Denny

Growing capacity 8% YOY
Growing the fleet by 18% in the next 4 years.
Hiring 25% more pilots in the next 3 years.
Can you name the Delta system carrier?
Back down to Earth: for us to see equivalent growth at Delta mainline, we would be have to be adding 130 jets above current fleet count and hiring 3000 pilots in the next few years.
Cheers

Care to share. I feel like a dunce trying to boil down what I want to say but also keeping the plausable deniability card out of it. Case in point Scope: Jets (no turboprops mentioned).
