The PCS system and the Swap Board (along with the trip parking issue) are all interrelated. Reserve is definitely improving.

Speaking against the Swap Board is, of course, pure heresy, and I'll probably get stoned to death for it. But it only exists because our PCS system as completely unuseable because of the Reserves Required formulas.

Right now, if you're not in a park n' swap mafia, and PCS is your trading platform, you're SOL.

I get cold called all the time by guys trying to park trips on my line. My standard answer is I'm trying to swap something into those days.

Again though, he is here to get DAL the access to capital markets that DAL wants.

I too am an investor, and his actions will be a better barometer than his words. My guess is we will see what he is able to do later this year.
OK, look, one part of title is Investor Relations. I get the access to capital part. I said he didn't impress me immediately. I didn't say he kills kittens, or that he pees his pants in public.

If you want to school me on what he's here for, listen to the webcast. Anderson said he was there to answer questions.

Well put. Something's gotta give in Section 23.

Looks like Tsquare, Scambo, and Sinkr8 all went heavy into the carbs, for some serious posting energy.

Who switches to malt first, for endurance?

Fair enough. I mean that.

I just really do not care what he says, but what he does. Same with the entire executive leadership.

"Delta’s deficit excluding certain items for the three months ended in March was 5 cents a share, wider than the 4-cent loss estimate by analysts in a Bloomberg survey.

Stock performance

Including an adjustment for fuel hedge gains, a $39 million benefit related to an exchange of takeoff and landing slots with US Airways at LaGuardia airport and a charge on fleet and facilities, Delta’s net income was $124 million, or 15 cents a share, compared with a loss of $318 million, or 38 cents, a year earlier."


Okay, the above was from a story on our 1st quarter performance. For a "business challenged" individual, bottom line, did we make a profit or take a loss for the 1st quarter... In one place it says we took a 5 cent loss and in another it says there was a 15 cent gain. More specific question, In regards to calculating profit sharing, was there a loss or a gain? Thanks
