In the next downturn, when there’s no profits, neither Delta nor United will be getting profit sharing checks, but we will still have a WB fleet that 2X the size of Delta’s. And I’d rather take the bird in the hand vs the 2 in the bush.
While i dont agree with all the JVs we do and our lack of WB flying but 70%+ of our revenue comes from domestic flying so i dont think your argument holds much water.

That being said, i wish we had your deadhead language and pay banding.

That 70% figure is dominated by the RJ operation.

the DOW closed at 6507 on 3/9/09. It closed at 18847 on 11/7/16. The day BEFORE the election. that's 190% big daddy. whoop whoop. Details are important. BTW, looks like here in Oct, the DOW is going negative for the year. That's some sweet trade war and tax cut winning. Enjoy that ripping Bfund!!


I would never brag about reducing a 10% unemployment rate EVER! Should never be there in the first place. That's like saying your wife cheated on you, but, hey, at least she told me about it!
That's what happens when you inherit an economy that had to be bailed out by the previous republican administration. The Great Recession bottomed at 10% unemployment. Obama left it at 4.5%.

Oil is oil. supply and demand. The president doesn't regulate oil prices.
haha. RIGHT. And politics...like Iranian sanctions, don't have ANY affect.

Sorry, times are good right now even if you hate the guy in office. We may be having a smaller PS checks but that's due to how United is being managed, not because who's in office.
Our fuel bill is increasing by 2.5 Billion yoy in 2018. Is that management's fault? Enjoy that PS beer money.

That’s about enough about politics. I think we should tone it down and talk about religion for a while.

It’s a wonder what 1970’s era labor participation rates will do to the unemployment numbers in the 2010’s.

I’m sure doubling the national debt in 8 years will do wonders for inflation and PRAP going forward.

I guess sub 3% gdp growth is the new normal like Barry said. Oh wait....

Great Recession. His first year was 1.4T in the hole. By 2015 the deficit was 485M. You work with what you get.

Wait what? That 4.2 QUARTERLY number that Trump posted? That's not annual. Obama beat that 3 times in his presidency, including a 5.2% quarterly growth rate in 2014. Check it out yourself, don't just parrot what you hear on Fox News.

So 1 quarter where he hit 5%, and a couple other where he hit 3% out of 32, that’s success?

I guess the gop taking over congress help “reel” in some of the spending in his second term.

And yes I am aware the continued deficits spending that is still going on.
