You mean Arpey couldn't pony up $1.37 in spare change just so they could show a little profit?

Most of it was just a paper loss, overall it was a pretty good result.

I was trying to be funny based on the thread title. I guess I shouldn't quit my day job.

No you're good, most pilots can only think about flying a plane and talking about flying on days off to people who could care less. This not allow them to have time to realize sarcasm or anything else

AMR Corp (AMR.N), parent of American Airlines, posted a wider-than-expected quarterly loss on Wednesday, saying the jump in fuel prices posed an obstacle to recovery, sending shares down as much as 5.5 percent.
The second-largest U.S. airline said the loss widened to $505 million, or $1.52 per share, from $375 million, or $1.35 per share, a year earlier.

Excluding a special item related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency in January, AMR lost $1.36 per share. On average, analysts had expected a loss of $1.31, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

That´s gotta sting a bit.

No sting at all. It's subsidized by your pay. AMR doesn't feel a thing.
