Alaska profit

[General Lee]

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.

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.

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!

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"

 

[Mercyful Fate]

Genital this crap you are posting is proof positive you are just a freaking mid 20s airplane geek with no pilots license at all. Even for a airplane goon, you should be embarrassed as hell at all of this.

Like DL just winning Air Transport World's Airline of the year for 2014, the first time a US Airline has done it in 10 years? Need a reminder? Here's the info on the DEC 13 quarter:


DELTA AIR LINES ANNOUNCES DECEMBER QUARTER PROFIT
Jan 21, 2014

ATLANTA, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSEAL) today reported financial results for the December 2013 quarter. Key points include:

Delta's net income for the December 2013 quarter was $558 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, excluding special items1.
Delta's net income for 2013 was $2.7 billion, excluding special items, a $1.1 billion increase over 2012.

Delta's GAAP net income was $8.5 billion, or $9.89 per diluted share, for the December 2013 quarter and $10.5 billion for 2013. These results include an $8.0 billion non-cash gain associated with the reversal of the company's tax valuation allowance.

2013 results include $506 million in profit sharing expense, including $119 million in the December quarter, recognizing Delta employees' contributions toward meeting the company's financial goals.

Delta generated nearly $5 billion of operating cash flow and $2.1 billion of free cash flow in 2013, allowing the company to reduce its adjusted net debt at the end of 2013 to $9.4 billion, contribute an incremental $250 million above required funding to its defined benefit pension plans, and return $350 million to shareholders through a combination of $100 million of dividends and $250 million of share repurchases."





Ok, need anything else MooMoo? Do you want me to comment on the above with a CNBC type commentary?

Once again no specifics..Back to your standard drivel..cut and paste an article about your record quarter...you are obviously not up to an educated discussion about this topic so I'm gonna follow everyone's advice and leave the troll to his hole..

Ok Jenny. Why don't you let me know how many RJs Delta has since you have the resources. You completely dodged that number because it's an embarrassment to you.

And again, what does our acquisition of AirTran have to do with any of this discussion? You love to pull this out of thin air like it's a special talking point for you. It's done and over. It would be like me talking day after day about the NW guys that got screwed. What would that have to do about this discussion? You can never stay on topic.

Give it a try General, how many RJs? Give me a number.


PS - Cost does matter, but in your legacy way of thinking...you never care. Ever.

No specifics? You look it up idiot. Ever heard of Google? Guess not. And people who ignore me are that way primarily because they can't debate me. Red-liar continues because he likes the pain and embarrassment I guess. Plus, he has nothing better to do on his MAF layovers.

Red,

Costs do matter, and I'd say DL buying used Md90s at $8-9 million each including engines would count. Throw in the great 717 deal that got via you guys(paying over $100 million to refurb them) should point out that DL cares about costs. Throw in parking 215 50 seaters due to inefficiencies, and I think I've proven that costs matter. I've given 3 examples right there.

As far as RJ numbers, they are sinking below 500 now, with another 120 to go by 2015, when all 88 of your 717s arrive. In all, 215 50 seaters will go, and 70 76 seaters added, all of which will replace 50 seaters on routes 717s couldn't profitably go. I know where you got the 600 number, but it hasn't been updated yet. You should know about canceling cities due to lack of profitability, you guys cut 17 AT cities.

And you counted? 56? Really? Looks like you wasted your time, and it shows you can't count. Even if that were true, you still haven't contributed ONE post with substance relevant to this industry. Why? Because you are a complete idiot. Yup.
