If the last decade plus has taught nothing else it should be crystal clear when the money train ends.... so does any 'good' contract.

More insider selling, for what it's worth. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/da...meynard_f4.xml

Christmas shopping I guess....
I'm going to put it down to a fear the stock is going to take a hit when record breaking 4Q numbers come in and WS realizes mgmt. is going to be faced with cutting an astronomical Ps check........ To those who "have nothing to do with producing profit".. |
I'll take stock, capital gains 20% tax vs. ordinary income @ 35%.
|
Maybe better to take options w/strike price at BK exit threshold.
No taxes in that case..... at least for now. |

Is there already a thread on this?

As to everyone else who doesn't want to wade through all of that then your thread now has a place. So, let's post pictures. This is what it looks like.... but longer. http://www.thirtythousand.us/wp-cont.../06/N609CZ.jpg This is what it looks like now before SWA pays to paint it. http://image.jdol.com.cn/gongqiu/img...2224541093.jpg |
"This is what it looks like.... but longer."
That's exactly what I told my wife when we were dating! |
she was talking about her ex, i assume.

Lot's of people are saying this will go Jr. band it with the 717 rates and I would fly this over a mad dog. Also put it somewhere other than NY or Atlanta.

West coast. Doubt it ever gets banned but it should be since it will outperform the 717.

I guess the plan was to base them in SEA. Will these replace the 717's out west on the 'shuttle' routes? Now that we have a new Crew Resources guru who just opened the LAX 777 base, I wonder if they'll consider other options, like SLC? More gate space there, plus a hangar and a sim building...

Any ideas on why Delta used the phase " up to 20" E-190's?

Gate space?? In SLC?? Nope. Airport construction about to start big time.. (Less gates next 6+ years) Hanger, yes... sim building is all SkyWest, one open bay thats slated for a SKY E175 sim....

It needs to pay the same |
BTW, I'm doing so many 88 runs on the 717 now. which seats 110. Not 149 or 160.
The E190 will seat, what? 98? Not much smaller than the 717. So if the 717 can replace the 88, so can the E190 right? Hopefully the NC recognizes it. |

RA loves small airplanes which brings the yields up, but not the best to compete with other airlines if they have larger aircraft. Until they place and order to replace 88 with a320/737 this E190 thing is scary if the rates do not at least match the 717. I also hope the NC see the potential future problems too! |
When RA says he is "upgaging" DCI, what he really means is "downgaging" mainline.
|
The other interesting part about was reading that article on the lawsuit between delta and the 88 cockpit upgrade folks and how they felt delta had changed their mind about the 88's future and were trying to just get out of the contract.
If sailing were here he'd set the record straight. |
The smaller the gauge, the easier it is to fine tune seat count in a market. The same thing was said about the 35-50 seat RJs 15 years ago. "Frequency is what the business traveler wants" was heard routinely. Any mainline aircraft should pay what the 717 does at a minimum, period.

Still don't know what you are talking about..

Funny part of it is your pilot group getting all hot and bothered to fly these airplanes when not to long ago you scoffed at pilots flying them as substandard and beneath you. Welcome to the RJ game RJ guys. |

Boy, since you don't know what you are talking about you are now 2 for 2. One of the major reasons the first TA got rejected was because of the scope relaxation exactly like what would be needed for Delta to fly these as part of the regional carriers. Right now, under our current contract the number of 76 A/C is capped (and no more room for more) and 98 seaters can't be flown anywhere other than mainline.

Meh. He just wanted the E190s at the regionals. Butt hurt.

Hiring, upgrading and training pilots to support the network – including the delivery of 60 additional mainline aircraft in 2016 (4 A330-300s; 15 A321s; 19 737-900ERs; 3 717s; 19 E190s) Soooo not 20... |

Show of hands.
Who thinks it will stop at 19...or 20. Does 20 EMB 190s as a stand alone fleet make sense? They are common type with E170, E175, E195, and all the new E2 models of the same aircraft. |

Money there are used 777 airframes in the wings. Perhaps to provide another gun to the head moment of 'vote YES for this or we will shoot this puppy'....
At the other end of the fleet, i dont think mgmt has figured it out yet. |
