"Earnings Live"
 

An unusual amount of hoopla leading into Tuesday's earnings announcement. Anyone wanna guess at any big announcements?

I'm guessing about three dozen new build 767-300s and the new uniform reveal. No used Airbii, I think that ship has sailed.

It has been quiet... almost a little too quiet on the rumor front lately.

I bet it’ll be just as much of a disaster as the last one and nothing good for us will come out of it.

No used Airbii except for these you mean . . . :D

Heard the German govt blocked the Easyjet Airbus aquistion, it was part of their Air Berlin asset purchase approval.

Yeah, whoops. ;) I meant the rumored purchase of a few dozen more additional used Airbii like Grumble alluded to. An additional purchase jived with the moves last fall to start ramping up hiring to >1000 this year... and the subsequent retreat down to more mundane pilot retirement replacement numbers suggests the deal fell through or has been delayed considerably. I'd be happy to be wrong.

January airbus fleet update says 7 additional 319 from CSN with option for 7 more in 2019.

So few more coming.

Another whoops, shouldn't have posted just before bedtime - the "Earnings Live" event is actually Thursday and the regular earnings report/conference call is today. So far, nothing unusual on today's release from what I've read/heard.

Perhaps Thursday will be more interesting, but maybe it will just be today's info repackaged for the worker bees.

I think today is just a release of the numbers. Thursday is the Q&A and the forward looking statements.
