On a related note RA stated at the CA meeting that 717's are to expensive for now and Delta is looking at A319's. They are plentiful and cheap. Decision should be made by the end of the second quarter.

-choice between A-319's and 717's, deal done by next quarter,still negotiating but price is currently too high.( my take-away, 717's when all said and done)
-Record year for profits, 1st qtr Rasm up 13.5 %
-Hiring 2013
-ETOPS all 737-900's
-Southwest not relevant in ATL until they fix problems
-100 to 150 50 seaters
-Have to have Regional feed, too expensive to do ourselves( don't shoot me, messenger only)
-Not interested in AA, too many problems. Would love DFW and MIA hubs if available
- take back Paris
-expand Heathrow operation
-Steady growth in Pacific
-Haneda/NRT future problem, already working the issue
-$ 900 million in interest this year, have to get debt down
-Positive about getting deal done with contract

Just a question for the analytical types: The 739 has decent legs, but what would we be doing with an etops version? It can't make it to europe can it?

On the two bold lines.
On AA, that would mean they do not want employees or will not mess with it until their contracts are thrown out. My guess is that what they want out of AMR is a moving target.
On CDG and LHR, sounds like there he may be exploring other options than AF/ Skyteam. Again, the bigger target than AMR proper. We can include many One World partners in that.
