I'll take a stab at it.

--We are still $15 million too expensive when compared to other regionals in DCI

--Oil costs too much and 50 RJs are too expensive to operate

--We are at risk of further fleet reductions/loss of flight hours in the fall

--Don't expect profit sharing checks this quarter

--All that "projected" growth and new flying -- ain't happenin' anymore. So they just screwed hundreds of people that just got hired.

--They will hail Maestro as the greatest computer system ever created, like the HAL 9000.

--Horrah! Horrah! We broke a record on 100% completion days.

--All the bad news will be blamed on ALPA.

At least they'd be consistent. My guess is that we're going to hear Slapadiccio prepares us for another S.D.F. whilst Brokeback Mountain plays in the background.

2. Proposed MX base at LGA canned
3. 12 spares

Thanks for that... I was worried that there might be some really really bad news, not just normal bad news like this is...

Ouch! He just used the "F" word possible in the fall. Didn't cite specific employee groups, though.

FLL and MCO Comair ground stations closing. DL to pick up ground ops for us there.

2600 hour block hour reduction in September, which is 11 airplanes worth of flying.

No. Not joking this time around. He is still talking and not painting a very rosy picture. It's all driven by fuel, fuel, fuel.
