Investor day on Oct.2nd
Clearly we will announce something. Any guesss or thoughts?
Europe? Wide bodies? Merger? More frequent red eye flights to the DR? DR from the west coast as a red eye? Closing down smaller stations?

In other words, full catering to the investors.
With that said, maybe this is finally the time they stop talking about Europe and actually do something? But I thought we all thought last time was the time? And the time before? And the time before?
The timing is right for an LR announcement, if the rumored start time is actually true. Airbus needs 18 months for an LR conversion, maybe less for some customers.
I just have extreme "big announcement" fatigue from this place.
Wide-body aircraft? I think you're WAY out to lunch on that one. There are a couple of merger possibilities, but not sure that is an investor day type of thing.
Definitely more red-eyes to DR. Possibly closing a few stations.
What I do know is if history is any guide, I'm standing by to be underwhelmed.

Didn’t mean to imply that there would be a life changing announcement on Oct. 2nd. That said, I do think there will be an announcement and something will happen.

Some are cheery no matter what.
Some are cheery when the airline lives up to it's potential.
Some are never cheery.
Lots of goalposts have been moved over the years on some of us, so while we may be very happy in life generally, our disappointment in the airline is heavy.
On the other hand my day to day work-life (largely based on my seniority) is very good (well, except for the delays and some of our hotels), and the paycheck hasn't bounced yet.
