The duration it will take for this to play out will prevent one from realizing the perils until we are beyond the tipping point. Just like the United I once knew has become unrecognizable over the course of time, so will this industry. Contrary to the political rhetoric of Trump and nationalism, globalization is our coffin and back room deals will be the nails sealing it.

Mic drop. Clairvoyant.

So much negativity on APC these day. Try and look at the bright side, shiny brand new pilots will get to fly shiny brand new 787s and hang out with shiny brand new young and hot foreign flight attendants!














































And earn one third of what we currently do.


Take a look at what globalization has done to the Merchant Marine -

Glad to have the funds, but I will forever disagree on the execution.

Must say I am disappointed that so many are already prepping to fold their tents and are getting the white flags ready.

Oscar says 4B (or is it 5?) in profits within just a few years. Who are we to disagree? He's just now starting to get the synergy-wagon in gear. Although, this weeks snow in ORD shoots a big hole in that theory.

You and I both know it can change in a week....And the good times are getting long in the tooth. With Mr Tweeter running the show...hedge fund guy as Treasury Sec, "Mad Dog" running Defense....What could go wrong?

Plenty. While I don't care for the types he's picking for his staff, most of my dyspepsia comes directly from him. He's too easily agitated and far too reactionary. While his flippant sound bite's might sound good in the trailer park, that type of diplomacy won't sit well abroad. The CIC has to gently juggle a lot of ripe peaches at once without bruising any one of them. I don't think he can do it.

Oldmako....not to disagree with your well thought out post...I largely do agree. But, (there's always a catch). I believe that "bruising some peaches" is exactly what is needed, if only to shift us from the status quo. We will all see in the long run. Hope to look back on these years over some beers with ya'll and say wow those were exciting times

Aircraft orders have been deferred (cancelled in my opinion), tk building construction has been postponed, but you can bet that the billion dollar stock repurchase will happen. Now nai. Time to man up.
