So all of our competitors are reporting record profits in Q2. How'd we do? I'm sure someone with access to the financial meetings can chime in.

Franke was post-bankruptcy and all that crap. That would be Ed Beauvais and Michael Conway who ran HP all but into the ground.

90 Million? This company has never made more then a few million. I hope you are right of course but that's a huge number when talking about Frontier.

Not possible. If we look at Q2 in 2013 we had about $330MM in revenue and a net income before taxes of $14MM. In Q2 2012 we had $370MM in revenue and a net income before taxes of about $14MM.

We recently increased block hours so maybe we have $400MM in revenue but $90MM would be a 23% margin. Never going to happen. I think we hit 12% margin for a brief period of time before Indigo purchased us so if we are still clipping away at 12% that would max our net out at $48MM and even that would be a miracle. If it is above $16MM I would be shocked. Form 41 has some noisy numbers and they will be released soon. I think Q1 indicated $14MM net.

For comparison (apples to grapes) American just completed their best quarter in history with a 7.5% margin. UAL crushed it with more than 8% and DAL also hit 7.5%.

Our costs are obviously WAY lower than the legacies but we can't touch their yields. Ill stick by my 4%, $16MM theory and be happy.

To be fair, I was heard this from another F9 pilot... I guess no one knows the exact number, but I'm sure they made money.

Maybe you heard nine-Ty, but it was nine-teen?

Even $19 would be massive for F9.

I think it was about tree-fiddy.

*edit*
Speaking of which how great would it be to have a Loch Ness Monster animal tail?
