    ATA leaving DCA and LGA

    This is the reason. DAL. Word is they are losing money, overall, on the domestic side. The international side is making big bucks and subsidizing the domestic side. Evil? I don't think so. It is smart to maintain your international feed. But there will be more carriers announcing the...

    FedEX Accurate LOA info, for a change

    Best possible offer. No more negotiation. That's what they said. It was part of their reason (saleman's pitch) of why you should vote for it. Because it was better than nothing. Now that we all know that was B.S., I wonder if the offer is good enough to vote for now. It is possible the company...

    FedEX HKG LOA is out, and boy is it funny...

    When FedEx's contracted accounting firm does your taxes, they can still use the exclusion. FedEx is merely comparing what you would pay to the U.S. vs. what you would pay HKG. FedEx pays the difference. The question I have is will your tax burden in HKG be less or more than if you were in the...

    Jetblue will slow growth even more

    Yeah, but what is the time to Captain with current growth projections? 5 years or more? In 3 years we have good odds the growth will slow even more. A 5 year time to Captain now might turn into 7+.

    FedEX HKG LOA is out, and boy is it funny...

    In a way, you have a valid point. FedEx could be on the hook for extra tax over and above your expected U.S. tax burden. But they can also make money with equalization if your tax burden is lower with the exclusion. It's possible newhires going to Hong Kong and Paris will actually make the...

    SWA vs UPS

    What's this? Should I now call you SWA/FO the "Gangsta" pilot? You've been talking to some of your more colorful clientele too much...

    American moves up delivery of more planes

    Smarter than you think. The MD-80 is too expensive to operate. It's about time.

    American moves up delivery of more planes

    Because the wing is inefficient too.

    Delay of the Age 65 Rule

    You say you took the challenge, but all you did was relive some memories and forget why you started your post. So which costs more--Being a newhire/junior dude under the old rules vs. 5 more years as FO. You can factor in how fast you dudes made Captain too. Are you a 59 1/2 guy? Getting lost...

    Will ATA (MatlinPatterson) buy SWA??

    Exactly. Could be the only thing to be "improved" would be the bank account of the deal makers.

    Will ATA (MatlinPatterson) buy SWA??

    Matlin Patterson has done it before---ATA, World/North American. But SWA would be a huge fish to land. The runup in the shares would probably make SWA prohibitively expensive. Not ideal for a "vulture" fund. My personal opinion is the $5 Bil raised will be waiting for a buying opportunity in...

    Delay of the Age 65 Rule

    Yeah, I'll take the Pepsi challenge. You tell me how 5 years of Captain pay vs. FO pay is less than the above and I'll be happy. Let me guess--You can't do it, can you? Thought so.

    Will ATA (MatlinPatterson) buy SWA??

    Perhaps the 5 Billion will be collateral for a 10 Billion dollar plus loan.

    Poop? How about a known killer on board?

    I read more of War and Peace. 1) It seems to insinuate the police offered to pay 10-15 grand for fuel. And they weren't too happy about it. That woefully underestimates the real cost of diverting this flight and someone at CAL probably realized that. 2) The article also quotes an aviation...

    Poop? How about a known killer on board?

    This kinda stuff is gonna happen. If we don't like it we need to go cargo.

    Had trouble going thru all of it. No pictures :)

    Poop? How about a known killer on board?

    What does the law say? I'm betting it says the flight may continue. Some of you folks get real po'd when government bailout money to the airlines is mentioned. All the government had to do was pay for the gas... And they didn't offer to do it. Want it to turn out differently? Change the law.

    Smartskies

    Airlines are considered a national asset. Part of the transportation system that is protected by the Railway Labor act. They haul U.S. mail too. Congress thinks airlines have a greater value than you do. So much so they make sure courts have the tools available to kick labor in the jimmies at...
