(Company email this morning).
But the ASTERISK! UAL was supposed to replace all the guppies with the B/C scale NSNBs that pay a weak arse $195/hr. What is Oly, Motch, and all the NO voters gonna argue now???!!

They also don't play the Powerball because they don't want to pay the taxes.

15% and the company is smiling all the way to the bank. We'll get them next time. You're right though. This thing probably will pass like bad gas infused with hot sauce.

Well, I was way off about aircraft orders. However, the international numbers didn't look good. The Latin American numbers were actually worse than the Asian numbers. Latin America had a 12.6% passenger revenue decrease in spite of a 10.5% increase in ASMs.
Asia had an 8.6% revenue decrease on flat ASMs.
Atlantic was better with a 3.2% revenue decrease on a .5% reduction in ASMs.
There was also a RASM decline domestically.

The good news is that consolidated CASM (including special charges, third-party business expenses, fuel and profit sharing) declined by 10 percent to offset the RASM decline.

... especially if the car was given to them by the company. If the company gave everyone a sports car, they'd complain about how unsafe the car was. If the company gave everyone a Volvo, those same people would complain about how boring the car was. You can count on those same people like clockwork.
