Alright, I just noticed I hit 10,000 posts.

I think it's about time to retire.

I thought about retiring from the family to spend more time here, but instead will opt for the more traditional retire from here and spend more time with the family.



Clean up on aisle awesome.

You hit 10,000 at 120 pots ago. Suck it up cupcake and come to terms with your addiction.

So let me get this straight. In following the money I notice this: Delta subsidizes a broken and crumbling business model to the tune of $74.3 million (that's give or take 7% of PNCLs annual revenue). This results in PNCL keeping 57, 76 seat jets on their property which rightfully should be on ours. So what message is Delta management sending with regard to scope? They'd rather blow $74.3 million on a collapsing airline than let them stumble to a point where we get the airplanes. Sure would be a perfect opportunity for DAL management to tip their hand with regard to scope (as if they hadn't already). Unfortunately for us, now, the earliest that a PNCL 76 seat jet comes out of contract is April 2013. A majority remain until 2022.

So tell me management sounding boards. Where does DAL intend to keep the 76 seat aircraft? And how much are we willing to concede to all have a shot at a shiny CR9 A position?

At least Bombardier will have the opportunity to eat every rejected CRJ-200 that PNCL sends their way. Don't believe it's possible? Just look at Mesa's foray into Chapter 11.

It's sort of like noticing you are on your 7th beer then saying you are going to quit drinking forever.

You might as well finish the second 6 pack now, FTB.

See you at 20,000.....

Wow! Why don't you tell us how you really feel GJerk? Obviously a little overly emotional tonight.

We are not taking the 76 seat flying back. That ship has sailed. I expect the DCI carriers to get more 76 seaters. The scope battle is still going on and will get worse. Continental and American were the two companies holding the scope line in our favor. American is bankrupt and Continental is stuck merging with United's scope.

You're way to predictable with your posts, hockey. It's like a depressed More Bacon. You need to change your game up.
