Heh, going from an An-2 to an IL-76 is like going from the Piper Cub to the USS Enterprise, the NCC-1701 kind, when it comes to literally every metric.

BTW - 632NK will be here tomorrow, for whoever was asking if we skipped it all together.

I remember being on an IL76 for the first time. As soon as I caught my breath from the smell of Russian body odor, I noticed the plane had a "12 button." As in the technology is so absent on this plane, it would not recognize an input of 1 and then a 2 for the number 12. A button dedicated to the number 12. Of course where was a 13, 14, and 15 button too.

Yeah it had fuel leaks and bad paint. Guess they got it all fixed up.

Nice! $SAVE jumps over 6% in early morning trading off of low oil price news.

Man, I wish I'd purchased more!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it. What's the deal with the paperwork? Is there a fix coming?

It's mentioned ON the paperwork...

It's a formatting issue (NK claims it's on the vendor); says fixed soon. Read much?

low oil price means more competition & growth resulting in cheaper ticket prices...

No, I don't think so. Low oil prices won't result in lower ticket prices, what we'll see are more capital improvements and dividends to shareholders. With the recent good run the airlines are having, airline stocks are no longer avoided by traders, and to keep that interest, profits will be routed through to shareholders via dividends and buy backs, not to the traveling public via lower prices.

What we'll also see IMHO, are continued improvements to airline infrastructures (ops centers, terminals, computer systems, training centers, etc.) and an attempt at lowering the airline's fleet age.

I do agree we'll get more growth, but no more competition and no cheaper ticket prices due to low oil prices.
