Delta Air Lines reports a wider third-quarter loss

[Tanker Clown]

Way to go Delta! Looks like the Genital was right. Those international routes are really starting to kick in. Wait until Song is at full speed. You guys can't be stopped! From losing money that is.

Perhaps another round of pay cuts will help. I'm sure you guys are already sugesting them. Or if mgt hints at them, you'll gladly grab your ankles and take another one for Song...er....Delta!

Whats the projected earnings for the 4 Q

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

BTW, "Excluding certain items, it recorded an adjusted profit of $51 million, or 6 cents a share in the latest quarter."

Please every press release that delta has put out in the last 9 years has basically said that they would have bought america excluding special charges, special writedowns, special this special that... They are experts at shining $hit

I like the way you boiled it all down. Sad state of affairs.

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

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.

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.

WOW!!! We get Tanker, CRJ567, and 9rj9 to comment??? Jealousy has many avatars!!!

Somebody rename this thread to "A-HOLE CHECK IN!"

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.
