Granted my MBA is about 12 years old, and even then I checked my work with google/investopedia/whatever, but there's a difference between operating cash flow and the cash flow from investments and financing. I was suggesting that the cash flow that mgmt is talking about is specifically operating cash flow, basically the daily revenue/expenses directly tied to flying airplanes. I'm thinking that is typically what execs are referring to when they say "cash flow" in this respect. But I very well could be wrong.
That sounds like a good explanation. "Cash Flow," is day-to-day -- or even "flight to flight." Fuel, crews, lease payments, landing fees ... Taken as a microcosm.Originally Posted by ChazzMMichaels

Overall corporate profitability takes into account marketing, real estate, taxes, interest and finance stuff. And is measured quarterly.
That about right?
