From the conference call the capacity reductions are in 50 seat aircraft specifically segments over 750 miles. The funny part, the guy inquiring about it says "A personal thanks for the reduction in 50 seat aircraft." lol

Funny how DL pilots think the special charges don't actually count.

Funny how if you had a degree and ANY sort of economic sense, you'd obviously know it's all about cash on hand after EBITDAR.... Our cash went up, hmmmm, how'd that happen....it's called an operating profit.

Back when you were sucking off Brutus learning to fly, the government changed reporting rules and now special charges became transparent to expose depreciation writeoffs......

So yes, they do count but cash on hand is all that matters.......good idea to know what you are talking about before throwing arrows.

They are going to lose a couple of hundred million dollars. That's the standard Delta quarterly loss. Looks like that won't be changing any time soon.

Special Charges count, but we are in the middle of the worlds largest merger.

Also, when operational profit, the banks will still loan to us. Em the little details.

If you had "any sort of economic sense" you would understand that a decade of straight losses is not sustainable. You might also recognize that write-offs related to "goodwill-AKA-NWA's synergies" is complete monkey crap.

-I am not a damn bit jealous of your position-not for one second.
 
You might also want to take a moment and realize that the airlines of today are not designed to make gobs of money. They are the host for all of the fleas to suck off of.

Yes you are jealous, I'll bet that RJ job keeps you happy right?...Did Mommy not hug you enough or was she just the type to be rough and say "Here!! Take this 70,000 dollar check and become a Pilot!"??

Cash on hand junior, Cash on Hand....maybe if you went somewhere after High School, you'd know what counts.

O.K., Champ, if "Cash on hand" is so easy to play with, and such a discretionary item, why did it not wind up in the "profit" column?

(I know the correct answer-and it has a lot to do with things which lead to bankruptcy.)

-Choose to look at this however you wish, but that little trickle back in the engine room ain't getting no smaller.

Whatever do you mean, ACL? If you are making the point that politicans (and public perception) have turned the entire industry into a smoking Greyhound bus, I probably agree with you.

-Unfortunately, the business sense of such a model is none too persuasive to potential investors.

nevermind!
 
In August, Delta said it planned to cut more management and administrative jobs but didn't say how many. CEO Richard Anderson told employees that Delta has seen its revenue stream decline by billions of dollars because of the weak economy and the drop-off in demand for air travel. Delta has also said it plans to cut international capacity by 15% starting in September. It will also adjust the international routes it serves, the number of flights offered and the size of planes it uses next summer as it seeks to return to profitability.
Delta ended the quarter with $5.8 billion in unrestricted liquidity, including $5.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and $300 million available in a revolving credit line.
Delta remains on track with its integration of Northwest under its wing and expects to receive a single operating certificate from the FAA by the end of the year.


Question, 15% international capacity reduction? This has been announced before correct? These reduction numbers are so confusing.
 
Cash position increased from 5.4 billion to 5.8 billion.

I'm okay with that.

Jeez crj567, when you sign in as both usernames on 1 thread it makes you a bigger azzwipe than you already are.
Now, I'm sure you have some $5 BJ's to be giving out in the men's room at the ATL airport.
Make sure and wear that ASA uniform proudly!:laugh:

That trickle is the 50 seat RJ's not the mainline.....besides, if Delta goes out in BK, where will you be able to put on your uniform to impress the fat chicks?? You seem to think we keep you down, but we are the ones letting you fly our pax.

Mr. Cart I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Horse!
