Freedom will lose 6 aircraft (or about 21%) of our current flying for Delta April 1st regardless of the court decision. We will have only 22 erjs flying as of that date. I don't see Delta (who is in court to void our current contract) jumping at the bit to give us more of Comair's flying.

It was on Friday, Obama said "The economy isn't as bad as everyone thinks." Take it for what it's worth. Just after Warren Buffet was stated saying "the US economy has fallen off of a cliff."
I have more confidence in Warren Buffet when it comes to the economy than the president who is just trying to keep people from freaking out.

As you said.."he's just trying to keep people from freaking out"

I don't think anyone would be surprised about continued cuts in the CVG flying. The pulldown from hub status to more of a focus city is inevitable, despite what Delta wants everyone to believe. Besides didn't that one dude at DL very carefully word a recent statement regarding the future of the CVG hub past this summer? After the Piedmont merger in 1989, I remember when USAir had hubs in PIT, PHL, CLT, DCA, and BWI, with tiny hubs in DAY and SYR (not to mention all of the focus cities littered all over the NE and Midwest), and look how well it worked out for them...

I would really hate to take away the whole doom and gloom portrait you got going here.....but maybe, just maybe......... the company has communicated block hour reductions in September......because we DON'T have a fall schedule yet??
They are comparing the block hours from last fall to the increase we have this summer. Well of course, we are going to have a massive block hour reduction if we compare it to last September's schedule. We won't know anything until those fall numbers come out. It could be a huge decrease/increase/ stay the same? No one knows. We just have to wait and see what the Fall schedule looks like.
Just my two cents, which isn't really worth much.

The same argument could be made for the mccain quote. It could also be used for some of the things bush said toward the end, when it was obvious things were getting worse. Not arguing for or against these politicians, just pointing out that some are praised while others are blasted, for doing the exact same thing

All these stimulus bills are a load of Bull. When you inject 2 Trillion dollars into the economy (Money fresh off the printing press) you did'nt create any value, you just inflated the currency. They are basically giving out money that isnt worth anything, its DEVALUED.
Which brings me to another point... the US is BROKE. NO MONEY, ZIP! And with all thats going on in the market, foreign investors are running away from Wall Street and this Fiat monetary system. I'd get ready for hyperinflation and a collapsed dollar.

They aren't just printing more money, they are getting(well borrowing as it will have to paid back with interest) the money from government securities such as Bonds, Treasury bills and notes.
Outside shoring up the banks (If a large bank collapse's it will cause massive panic), the stimulus bills won't do much.
