AAI traffic surges 55%

[General Lee]

They did not add anywhere near that much capacity private. It was a 30% increase in capacity and 55% increase in RPMs.

Well Sarge, I have no clue what you are talking about. My BASIC point was that adding aircraft from one year to the next will always increase the next year's numbers. Got it?

Gee, 55% increase in traffic is great. However, I don't think AAI will make a profit this year. 1st quarter 2005 ($8,029,000), 2nd $11,359,000 with the 3rd and 4th quarters showing weaker earnings. Their EPS for 2005 is (.10).

Just like JBLU, both companies show great growth, but their earnings suck this year. If you look at SWA, their growth is more like 15% and thier numbers are much better...just food for thought.

I just looked at analyst estimates, ouch! Great quarter for passenger loads but I guess there won't be a profit this year.


Reminds me of the change bank skit on SNL.

"10 dimes for a dollar. 100 nickels for a five spot. 1000 pennies for a ten."

"How do you make money then?"

"simple...Volume."

They did not add private. It was RPMs.

Are you drunk again? What does that mean?
