How big of bonuses do you generally get for only losing $1.2billion? I hope they get a ton!!!

dunno but as far as pilots are concerned, our pay has gon up and our stock that was awarded to us as part of the merger has thus far given a great return and is much higher than when we first got it.

with that said, the above post is the part that most should be concerned with. :beer:

I'm shocked! Delta always makes a hearty profit. What's happening? If Delta can't be profitable NO ONE CAN!!!!! What really suprises me is that the loss at Delta couldn't be offset by the dumptruck load of cash that Song always brings in.

I'm starting to think these guys really just don't want to cut me a profit sharing check....damn them. Anybody want to hire a fuel hedging guy? Looks like he lost over $100,000 per pilot. I'm sure he'll get a bonus!
