That's some pretty tough sarcasm for a $61M profit. Were you perhaps hoping for bad news? Wait it gets better. CAL plans to raise $200M with the sale of stock.

LOS ANGELES, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Continental Airlines Inc. (CAL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday said it planned to offer 18 million shares of its Class B Common Stock at $11.35 per share.

Continental expects the issuance and delivery of the shares to occur on Oct. 24. Continental has granted underwriter UBS Investment Bank a 30-day option to purchase an additional 2.7 million shares of common stock to cover over-allotments.

I think you need to re-read the post....I am in awe. Any airline that can make that kind of $$$ in this environment should be damn proud of themselves, without hedges too!

No sarcasm here.

Yeah, thats when XJT will post a $30 million dollar profit for the quarter. So CAL and it's only regional parter will come in at close to $100 mill for the quarter. Just imagine what they would be posting if Jet-A was at 70 cents a gallon like it was a few years ago.

Just imagine how much they would’ve made if Mesa where doing X Jets flying for half the price.

Don't forget folks...
