Alaska profit

Yes, you are reading that right. The irony is so thick you can cut if with a knife. Over 600 RJs on property and he's the one acting like this. Nice.

Such is life for the Village Idiot.

There's Red-liar again, speaking out of his rear end again. 600 RJs? Now? Uhhhh noooo. What's really funny is he and his Corndogs have been outsourcing flights to his B-Scale brothers at AT, flying the same type planes (737s) for less pay! That didn't happen at any successful merger. The pay should have been the same on same type equipment immediately in their joint contract, but Red and his union didn't want that I guess. Talk about outsourcing, and so much for future loyalty!

Hey Village Idiot,

I just pulled 600 out of thin air because I didn't want to do the research. But here's the interesting thing......I'm being extremely generous with that number. In your heyday, it was right at 1 thousand RJ's. So you really think your down 400? Absolutely no way.

All you have is the AirTran transition? That's done and over in 11 months. I hope you're working on new material because even now it's lame and stale.

You remember SW has zero RJs and no codeshare right? Sure you do!

And Moo is right, you have no clue about how to read financial statements.

Full Steam Ahead.

Well thanks Dal for taking me to the great city of New York... I am sure I will see the general here... I think the mayor gave him the key to the city? His company made 2.7 billion and they must have given most of it to him. Oh I know my seats are no where near as good as yours. I will be slum'n in the cute Alaska section. Should be fun go Hawks!

Ignore the troll.

You pull a lot out of thin air, and never do the research. Thanks for verifying that. I stated at the joint contract you SHOULD HAVE had equal pay on same planes, otherwise you have a B-scale. How can you not see that? DL/NWA both had 757s, and they were given SAME PAY at the joint contract. Same with 777/744. Same with 765/A330. You guys did that because you didn't mind treating your brothers like poop, and that will get you in the end with disloyalty.

And when did MooMoo become Jim Cramer? He asked who has lower costs? Who cares? I care about profits and my own profit sharing check, which is $4K more than last years. I'm great you guys love the financials, I read the highlights.


And aren't you still code sharing with AT? Sure you are, and it's B-scale pilots thanks to YOU. Shame on you. You and your union had the chance to observe two different mergers, and you followed the wrong one. Anyone else that you potentially could merge with will be taking you to task, they've already observed your treachery.

United vs. Delta: The Super Bowl battle in the air
Lewis Lazare

Chicago Business Journal


Call it that other 2014 Super Bowl battle. The one that won't be making quite so many headlines. Still it involves a fierce match-up between two of the world's largest air carriers ? Chicago-based United Airlines (NYSE: UAL) and Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL).

While the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks are on the field Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey battling to become world champs, United and Delta employees will be watching intently from the sidelines and waiting eagerly to find out which airline will be able to claim bragging rights as official carrier of the 2014 world champions.

The United cheering squad is squarely on the side of the Broncos, as the airline is that team's official carrier.

As part of its sponsorship deal with the Broncos, United provides a charter aircraft to fly the team to all away games, including, of course, the Super Bowl.


Normally the Broncos fly on a United narrow-body Boeing 757 aircraft to away games. But for the special, high-profile journey from Denver to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey for the Super Bowl, the Broncos were treated to a trip on one of United's much-larger widebody Boeing 767-400 series planes, as well as a full crew on board ? at least one of whom was decked out in a stylish ensemble in white, orange and royal blue, the Broncos' official team colors.

But let's not forget about those Seahawks. While United was coddling the Broncos en route to Newark Liberty, a Delta charter plane and no doubt equally-attentive crew were flying the Seahawks to Newark as well. Of course Delta would like to see the Seahawks prevail, as the airline is the Seattle team's proud official carrier.

One shouldn't read too much into any one aspect of this behind-the-scenes Super Bowl airline battle, which is just a small part of the entire 2014 Super Bowl saga.

But it should be noted, just for the record of course, that the Broncos plane arrived first at a dedicated hangar at the Newark airport that is earmarked for arrival festivities.

Really? You don't think DL management cares about that? They are clearly outperforming your management. Good one! And, they snagged the Seahawks. 12th Man!!!! Yeeesssssss!

Outperforming on what metric? Gross Margin? Casm? rasm? Domestic yield? Net margin? Jd power? Wall Street journal airline awards? Stock performance? Maybe you could get into specifics once instead of bloviating about deltas obvious greatness..and you got the seahawks because you have 2 aisles..and you are the one who said "who cares about costs"
