Lucky for our dads and grandpas, often they didn't put up much of a fight. Then again, sometimes they did.
Google "Ost Battalions" if you'd like to learn more about Hitler's crazy outsourcing!

Just be sure to say "Nazi" like Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds... "nyaat-zee" instead of "noht-zee"

We just need a Bear Jew to strike fear in the hearts of management.
Carl, you down? Ferd? I'm not going to ask newK because we wouldn't have anyone left to negotiate with on the company side.

The A320 supply is "tight" until 2019.
Sources for the above: Aviation Week and Flight Global
Boeing's plans for narrowbody segment still unclear
- CRJ 700/900 $28,000,000
- E175 $34,000,000 (NEO figure low $40's)
- C Series $61,600,000
- 737NG $64,000,000 to $68,000
- 320 NEO $105,000,000 (orders have indicated transactions very near list price)

MD-80: $5M? available now.
B717: $15M? available now.
777-300: ? available now.
I'm just not excited about jumping on the airline version of the Prius right now. Give me the used Ford Expedition or GMC Denali equivalents.

To date having these companies that exist outside of the US are the best way for DAL to take advantage of the Import/Export bank. Ever wonder why AF and the other Skyteam airlines have all of that large metal on order and we do not?........
It also helps keep that pesky debt off the balance sheet.

So 1 year or more to talk to ensure that the 59% of the airline that's over 50 and 26% over 55 don't do anything Carl or Tsquare wouldn't approve of, right?
