He didn't end the post with "Hooray, here's hoping for a total demise of UAL, AMR, LCC!" He merely pointed out the obvious. Those airlines have the biggest debt obligations that are due and UAL and LCC have the weakest cash balances right now. No one hopes anything. We all have friends that are hurting right now and don't wish anyone to lose their livelihood. Read his post again and remove your emotions from your response.

One thing no one has broached is that CVG is being cut another 25%. Since there's only 40 mainline flights out of the few hundred it is illogical that mainline would see most of this. I suspect that unless they grow JFK and ATL with a lot of RJ service, someone is going to see some major cuts come their way. It was alluded to in the JP Morgan meeting that they feel they cannot sell any of the wholly owned carriers in this market. The only ones they can cut without affecting contracts are Comair, Mesaba and Compass. It will be interesting.

I just read the post again and it is not emotion in my response as I didn't start the silly name calling. By the way I don't work for either of those companies so there is no emotion associated with his post in that regards. By the way is there some reason you are telling me what to do in regards to any emotion I might have? Did someone leave you in charge and I missed that memo? Best of luck.
That was his quote. Where do you read that he is looking to profit off those carriers demise?
As to the rest, you need to relax. Go get some sun and unspool yourself.

"They are, we will recover a lot quicker than the others. If this continues I see UAUA, AMR, or LLC in 11 or 7 by this fall."

Well Comair is going to JFK, and Measa to CVG. So what do you read by this.

Nawwwwwww, just tied up with elderly parents for a bit.Kinda reminds me of the great exchange between Richard Boone and John Wayne in "Big Jake"
Boone - Who are you?
Wayne - Jake McKandles
Boone - I thought you was dead
Wayne - Not hardly!
Way too much to get caught up with on here, glad to see all the same players..........missed my old friends.

CPZ and XJ pilots - I don't think I could be trained to fly an RJ again. I flare waaay too high now.
Besides, been there, done that... if I wanted to stay I'd rather do it without the loss of ten years of longevity, an $70,000 pay cut and being able to bid two days and stand ups.
While I'd really like to see one list with you guys, it is about unity, not the flow down. I'd probably go find some corporate gig or maybe become a missionary pilot. No kidding, looks like fun to fly tail wheel airplanes around the middle of nowhere.
