Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
W Tee Eff! Because of AMR and the Obama economy ! ? !
First of all, we already had our turn in the C. 11 barrel. We have collectively given them a loan of over $ 1,000,000,000.00 per year from the south side alone.
Just because AMR was mismanged, is now in C. 11, and is going to scrub all of their debit does not mean we have to subsidize this fact by excepting less.
We already had our haircut. Because they are getting theirs does not mean we have to get back in line and get another one. Yes, perhaps AMR will emerge leaner with less debit and be a more formidable competitor. But, we gave that loan so Delta could be too. Perhaps they get fragmented or sold as is. Should we except less pay on the premise that they are emrging lean and mean only to see that happen?
And the Obama economy. I get it. Economy sucks and Europe has potential to get worse. I also get that in spite of this, Delta earned over 1 bil last year, is on track to do it again for '11 and forecasted even more earning$ for '12.
Thing is, there is always going to be the crisis or issue de jour that management will point to and scream about the sky falling while trying to manage your expectations.
Time to start managing theirs.
Don't sell yourselves short guys.
"eww, look at all those people crammed in that tiny 757... they are flying all that way with only one aisle..."
Here's a detailed look at Delta's expansion at LGA:

There. Fixed it for you:

Anyhow, once the T/A is presented to us, I fully expect that it will be completely taken apart, sliced, diced and pounded by a bunch of us from every possible angle before the first day passes. We will have all the information necessary to completely evaluate it's value, either good or bad. There shouldn't be any areas that are nebulous. We will have a really good idea of its value pretty quickly.

We're going to set up subcommittees to dissect all of the different sections of the TA.
At the end of the day it'll be like a scene out of Apollo 13 where every department checks in with a "GO... flight leader? GO... Gordo? GO!" And so on.
The all important APCF seal of approval will be 5 underboobs out of 5. Anything less, well, will be flat.

Don't worry, your not alone. There are about 4500 other folks that wish the merger never happened, but we'll get over it to, eventually.
