CAL to furlough

[Ex737Driver]

We would have made 129 million net 1Q if it wasn't for the LHR slots we purchased.

uhhh...So you're saying that CAL included the entire purchase price of the slots in one Q? you sure about that?

Our first quarter loss was 60M for operations and a special charge for 20M for the way CAL figures income taxes, give or take a few million. We began to make a change in the fourth quarter and the charge was spread between the two.

thanks for the RUMOR

and thanks AGE 65!

Age 65 extended YOUR career 5 years, too, slick. Of course, you seem to be strictly worried about your upgrade.

Gear up, sonny.

That legislation didn't extend s**t! My plan is still on track to be out the door by 57.

Enjoy your "retirement".

None of us want our careers extended 5 more years, old senile man. Not all of us have 3 alimonies. A 401k and a Roth wisely invested for my 39 year airline career would have been plenty. You got your break from guys retiring at 60 just like everyone before you. Had your cake and ate it too.

I didn't see a post by that dumb bicth.

I believe that was a pre-emptive shhhhh.

Due to lower earnings because of a later upgrade, we HAVE to work 5 additional years to make the same career earnings as we would have with age 60. It's called compound interest. Look it up when you're "irregularity" occurs again and you're on the crapper for 45 minutes. Bran is good.

Someone here doesn't understand Compound Interest.

No wonder pilots make such lousy investors.

How pompus of you to think that those you threw under the bus to cover your inadequate planning actually want to work more for less.

Your few words reveal much. Thanks. Thanks a whole lot.
