You can tell finance is something you have no understanding of or pallet for. The beauty is in the fact that time will clear this all up. I hope you understand with that yardstick there are few legacies that measure up. I can tell you with certainty our upper manage is confident that this cute little company is going to devour yours on the west coast. Maybe they are mistaken, maybe they are right, or maybe they are playing a game.

Just an honest question general..do you believe that size is the only thing that matters?(in airlines..I think we all know your a "motion of the ocean" kind of guy)..or do you believe that delta is just gonna do it better than Alaska on the west coast?

Don't feed into his narcissism.

[General Lee]

Ahahahahaha! Come on now! Easy..... Throttle back. Level the wings.


Don't get so defensive, like your management. (SLC to SJC and SAN?? Really?)

Congrats on the profit.

On a per plane profit margin ?? I'm not good at math or know how many planes delta has .. But I would guess Alaska is slightly better ?!?! And also rate of return on investment ??

This website has gone done in quality with all the trolling. It's getting to the point where I don't even logging on anymore.

I heard Delta isn't paying any taxes since they're carrying forward billions of dollars in losses. If I was a creditor during BK, I'd be pissed right now. Delta pilots weren't creditors were they?

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

Just stop responding to the freak.

 

[Ski Bum]

Nice to see a strong performance...especially beating the 10% margin for the last 4 years. The check in March will be bigger than last years and we all know that is what really matters.

I don't know about the taxes part but Yes, the pilots were creditors, and most pilots got well over $200K, each. Most of it was thrown into 401K allotments, filling up for each year during BK, even going back a couple. Then, the rest was in cash, but taxed. Most Capts got even more. This was all due to Doug Parker trying to grab DL while in BK. DL management had to offer more per dollar to have the creditor committee agree to terms. Most creditors, including the pilots, did a lot better than normal. My own 401K has done great now.

I was close to closing my FI account and deleting the site off my computer but I took others advice and put the village idiot on my ignore list.

Ahhhhh, serenity now.

 

[NDPILOT]

Man people really take the bait with him..Either accept that he's being sarcastic or ignore. It must be tough to converse with all of us town idiots. Most DL pilots, from my experience are just better..at everything. Just ask the old NWA guysuke:

 

[MONKEY]

The problem I have is he's on my ignore list, but everyone keeps quoting him. I'm sure that he is on more ignore lists than any other user. I think that the site owners think he's good because he has 20 billion posts, but he is driving people away. Anyway, please, put him on your ignore list and if you aren't willing to do that, please don't quote him.

 

[Jim]

Nothing says you have to read the quotes. If you don't have the self control to do that, then he really doesn't bother you that much. You anti-General people are acting like a bunch of first graders.

"It is our opinion that Delta needs Alaska more than Alaska needs Delta in the context of their code-share relationship given Delta's Seattle-Asia plans and Alaska's dominance in the Pacific Northwest," Keay wrote. "If Delta pushes too hard we wouldn't be surprised if Alaska finds solace in the arms of its other partner, American, at Delta's expense."
