Wait, before we get too turned on by the heavy breathing, was it a man or a woman?
It does matter.

RA sure was short and to-the-point today. In forum world I think that means something big is about to happen.

Stock got the jump they needed to use it as collateral. The way the leak and the earnings above forecast both were timed tells me we are right where we need to be to go shopping. When the leak came out a few weeks before the earnings, I suspected our earnings were going to beat the street, as they did.
Game on..... Might be a interesting ride for us.
Just remember our cooperation should be worth a lot of money for our pilots.

Call it what you will but the only airline out there with any sense of political good-will is Southwest. JetBlue used to have that same sense of public "admiration" before they lost control of the message. My guess is Southwest isn't far behind and will fumble on message with the upcoming AirTran integration. Just look at the sentiment towards their new higher density cabin or the general tone and reaction to the last few big "news" stories they came up in...(dressed to revealing/to big for the seat)
On the other hand the PBGC as a creditor will have a say in what happens with AMR...

What you also fail to see is that LUV, LCC and DAL can work in concert on the AMR deal and everyone is seen as a winner, well at least though November.
Airlines play a large, but generally silent part in politics. I do not see that happening this time around. Not with AMR in 1113C. Different game and different times.

We're already overstaffed in total, just with pilots in "wrong" positions. No more 24 hour international short call drives some of the manning needs, as will the hard flight time limits (no more legal to start, legal to finish). Other airlines with substantially different rules designed for their networks/circumstances/history will have different issues. But I don't see how you get to a 7% increase in Delta manning with the rules as written.
The pilots said ES stated the "NEW" numbers were 750 newhires because of the rule changes, and he supposedly stated this at the last big linecheck meeting. (the DFW rumors supposedly came out of the "Lead" linecheck meeting that was even more recent.) I'm just passing along rumors from linecheckers, and if you want to deconstruct every rumor out there with your expert knowledge, have at it. Take it for what it is and what it was originally labelled as, a linecheck rumor.
