If anyone's holding their breath expecting something to happen tonight, tomorrow, this week, next week, etc, I'd recommend exhaling and relaxing. What happens will happen on it's own schedule.
I've lost track but how "we'll be BK unless" or "we'll be BK by" rumors have we heard? Latest was "if no deal by Sunday PM the company will announce BK". That was after the "I've been told by reliable sources the company will announce BK by Oct 1st."
The most critical issue we'll have to deal with tomorrow is - eat in or eat out for lunch?

My Last AA Post
Obviously the AA crowd was not interested in underboob and thongs, so I did some serious thinking the last month and came to this conclusion.
No need to thank me guys, no hard feelings

Please post as much thong and underboob as possible.
I need to figure out how to post pictures and YouTube clips.

I am not an airline pilot but a potential airline investor, and I don't like the fact that a retirement of a 777 Captain causes so many training events. To minimize the training events some small tweaks can be made: such as giving the pay parity between 12-year pay rates for both a 738 Captain and a 777 FO; increasing the pay scale to 25 years for the top quartile of positions (777 Captain, 777 FO, 767 Captain and 757 Captain); and restrict the upgrades that some pilots can make (for example a 777 FO can only upgrade to a 777 Captain).
Something else that's really expensive: Restricting a seniority based employee to a lower paying plane... He may not be getting paid, but the company will be paying. alla USAir: turn three, we must be safe all the way there, we may lose a EDG. In laymans terms don't mess with the guy who controls your highest cost "fuel".

90 min after the above press release the company comes out and says they knew about his departure. Really? Why not wait two weeks and come out with quiet "He's going to spend time with his family" and "Won't be leaving until the end of the year to provide a smooth transition" type of press release. No, it's he's out of here!
The guy quit....
Going to be a great call next week!

CFO resigns 1 week before earnings conference call and not a peep out of CNBC on the issue. (I watched or listened most of the day.) Jetblue must be putting a big muzzel on the press.

B6 has been very successful at keeping managements pay, fair and reasonable. It is one of the reasons IMO that the airline has stayed non-union. You just don't see a bunch of management types at B6 with the big fat "legacy" style bonus checks going to management, and my guess is he wanted more money, but was respectfully turned down. Again, just a guess not based on fact, but isn't that most of what is discussed here anyway.
