In the good news column... There's a Pei Wei in concourse F. The Kung pao is pretty good. Now if we could get a decent pay raise I might be able to eat there more than once a month;)

I mean if a fleet of over 360 outsourced CRJ-200s on long term contracts to near bankrupt regionals is all of a sudden a bad idea, why is replacing the CRJ-200s with outsourced CRJ-900s to the same airlines a better idea?

How long til those become a bad idea and we have to move the scope line to compensate for all of these bad ides? Sure we could say "oh but that won't happen!!"

Okay, but when the first "bad idea" showed up in the early 1990s I doubt this was on anyone's radar as a swap solution to the unprofitable "bad idea":

AS adding A PDX-OGG flight, are we going to abandon Hawaii or just buy AS or HA?

There is no money in PDX-OGG.

Exactly. Even if you guys cut ASMs in the process, moving DCI to larger equipment only sets a precedent for future contracts. After 255 76 seaters become uneconomical are you going to allow DCI to operate 170 717s for the same reason?

Is this the future of DCI?
255 76 seaters C2012
170 110 seaters C2017
120 150 seaters C2023
90 200 seaters C2028

based on wall street reaction to ED's presentation:

There's no money in...capacity constraint.

I bet the tactical benefit of capacity constraint has run it's course.
The newly announced cuts most likely are strategic.

But big $$$$$$$$ in baggage fees. FDX may have been on to something. Maybe we should look at carrying envelopes too.

Anyone think we'll see this TA by the weekend (tonight)

Either way we should definitely see it by Monday/Tuesday of next week right?

ha ha! good one.

I listene to wsj today and I've got to say there seems to be a lot of uneasiness about Mr Zuckenburger (sp?). They said the GM pull of adds was spiteful in its timing.

I guess from what the said the various holders of others wealth don't want to fork over twice what a company is worth when the CEO walks in with an attitude and a hoodie.
