Little trivia question here.

How many profitable quarters has Delta had since the beginning 0f 2001? Furthermore, how much $$$ did they make in those quarters?

Off a side note...why is your pointer on the tail pointing to the Northeast....are you not Northwest???? Points to the NW on the other side.

Super's like all us FOs, forward look'en just backwards. I'll always like the old N that morphed into a W better. Oh well, marketing.

Off the top of my head I believe that we have only had two profitable quarters. Q 2 and 3 of last year. Before that I believe it was Q2 of 2001.

What cost $95,000 = $298,859.21 in 2007 inflation corrected dollars. No wonder we had airplanes, boats and corvettes growing up while I'm agonizing over the purchase of a Ford Ranger as a 767 FO.

Makes me look at my 401K in a whole new light.

Sounds like a blast to grow up in your household! The fall must be a bit harder for you to swallow, for me it is simply the unattainable goal and the used Ranger ;)
