Alaska profit

[General Lee]

Don't fall for his narccicism, guys...

Mookie, if you don't have something to add (as per normal), then throw me on ignore. I bring up points that your comrades obviously want to talk about, something you haven't done, even during your Skw days. Look, you can't debate, and instead throw out the "narccicist" stuff, which even you know is ridiculous. People who can't debate say stuff like that.

Jenny sure has a lot of friends on FI....not! Putz!

Whoa, slow down hoss. I'm glad AK owns Horizon, but it sux that most of the flights between the State of AK's two largest cities will be flown by props. Profits, good. Less mainline flying, bad. That is my point.

And it's great your stock is so high, that makes potential "friends" think twice about becoming more friendly. I don't want that personally, and if the guys at AA want to look at it, go for it. Internal growth is always better, and it looks like that is happening anyway now. Good.

Also, it's best when a pilot group attempts to bring up wages and tighten scope at the same time. In good financial times, that should be easier.

Hold on a sec.... Am I reading this right? Is the General really ragging on some other airline for outsourcing some of its flying to a regional? Seriously?

That's funny stuff right there... I don't care who you are.

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.

Debating with a narcissist is like hitting your hand with a hammer....it only feels good when you stop. If you had a cogent and consistent argument about anything other than disagreeing for the sake of riling up someone, then many would engage you because its obvious you are quite bright with many good well researched ideas. Instead however, you tend to inflame and condescend which makes you look like a fool and devalues your opinion. Because of this, it's not worth my time or others to engage you.

This ******************************bag doesn't seem to have a shred of an actual life outside his association with Delta Airlines. It's sad and pathetic. Can you imagine tying your self worth to a company that had to hide in bankruptcy to survive?

 

[SIG600]

Congrats guys! That profit is really, "cute." Well done.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Let's compare Alaskas total profit over the last 10 years, to Deltas. You guys are just digging yourselves out of a hole. How soon you forget.

No, the $2.7 billion profit in 2013 just eclipsed 5 of your yearly profits, and the DL debt has been reduced too by $9 billion in 4 years! This is a revenue monster.

So what are your costs compared to alaskas? Don't you understand the concept of % profit? We win on every single
Metric you can find when comparing profitability..your biggest quarter ever paled in comparison to our % profit that quarter..that means that on a per flight basis we make more money..our costs on a per flight basis are less..I guess in your little world a tech company that makes $1 billion on $3 billion in revenue is less profitable than a car company making $3 billion on $50 billion in revenue..Wall Street doesn't seem to buy your thesis..

Uhhhhhh, when there is a PROFIT of $2.7 billion, that means what's left over AFTER paying the COSTS.... Come on Jim Cramer!

Look, DL is a lot larger than your airline, makes a lot more money, and is establishing a large INTL hub at your main hub city. I can see why you are getting defensive, but a lot of the new routes will probably cater to actual DL connections, which you won't provide as much in the future. You in turn for some reason decided to put planes into SLC, with zero feed yourselves. That is gonna be interesting, and we'll see how it goes.....

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!

Jeezus general..you really have no clue when it comes to financials....

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.
