Probably not good for negotiations since revenue outstripped income by 4.3%. They'll probabably claim that they need to get costs under control or some other line to stall things even more. The cash position is also decreasing...has there been any capital expenses other than aircraft for the first half?

They did a stock repurchase in the quarter, that is probably why cash is down. However, they do not plan to do any more as they want to keep more in cash reserve.
