Interesting article. AAI's market share is only 3% of the domestic market and has had the industry's worst performing stock. According to Jamie Baker the AAI stock has declined 40% year to date.

So 32, how goes life at UAL? Are your captains still complaining about your (lack of) air(lady)ship!? Sucks to be on that "career f/o" list doesn't it!?

Jamie Baker = Stock pumping/dumping A-Hole

He can say whatever he wants, then his firm can play the stock accordingly...

Reducing deliveries . . well, yeah, from 19 to 18 for 2007

Pretty simple . . . we're in contract negotiations. We are looking for substantial improvements, and the company is making money. They announced a $36 million profit last quarter, and the pilots smell blood in the water . . . . So, they need to lower our expectations . . . . . they did the same thing previous to the 2001 Contract, and we have doubled in size since then.

Word I got is that our 737 deliveries for next year have been reduced . . . . . . reduced from 19 to 18, so they can claim a "reduction" . . . we're not buying what they're selling.

Still hiring another 100 pilots in 2006 and 250+ for 2007. Here's to our next contract.

Are you saying the stock has not declined 40% year to date?

You doubled in size but still only garner a 3% domestic share? Hardly earth shattering numbers. Also, were you on the property in '01?

Also, do you have source for your "word". Otherwise it appears there is fewer and fewer places for AAI to offer service. Also, what implications does DL stopping interline pass agreements have on the AAI workforce? According to DL there were very few DL employees utilizing the benefit but many more AAI employees riding DL.

No, what we're saying is that the stock price isn't indicative of the health of the company, or the number of airframes that will be delivered in 2007.

We're making money, and have every year since 9/11/2001. Oil prices are going down and revenues are going up. Most of the people I know consider the current price to be a buying opportunity.

Personally, I think the stock price is low because the institutional investors are disgusted by the amount of money the execs are stuffing in their pockets and that the pilot group is getting p.o.'d about the lack of progress in negotiations . . . . .

But what is amusing in all of this is that you are so fixated on AirTran that you actually paid $10. to be able to come back here again and get your @ss handed to you on an hourly basis. You must have really missed it, Sweetcheeks.

Yes it is.

Who are these people?

Nobody cares.

Yup.

5 new cities for next year, Sweet Cheeks. And my source has a direct need to know the delivery schedule. We'll just leave it at that.

Also, what implications does DL stopping interline pass agreements have on the AAI workforce?

I wasn't aware of that, at all. I've never heard anyone mention it, so, the answer must be "not very much".

According to DL there were very few DL employees utilizing the benefit but many more AAI employees riding DL.

Who knows/ who cares?

My, you're really grasping today, Sweetcheeks . . . . . must be "the curse".
