GL credibility in question

[General Lee]

Come now, General...time was a company called Enron had transparent conference calls, too. My point is these people are tremendously good at manipulating numbers, and they will manipulate then how they see fit.

I understand that, but look at what has happened since Enron. You can't just "hide stuff" without CNBC or Bloomberg on your azz. It's not as easy as you portray it. And, with profit sharing now a metric in a couple airlines' pay structure, you can bet many parties are interested in looking in "the books." That profit sharing is pre-tax, and one time charges don't count. DL is likely paying out more than $1 billion in profit sharing to all of it's employees this year. Every employee group will be watching.

There are a number of changes forthcoming with regard to accounting rules regarding leases. Specifically "operating leases" that will now require them to be marked as liabilities - previously they were handled as monthly expenses. Has potential to beat up many businesses balance sheets. Balance sheet, schmalance sheet, you say? As liabilities mount, so do borrowing costs - which of course can eat at profits. I'm not an accountant, but I'd imagine certain airlines could see a huge impact.

Paying down debts will be more important than ever, I think DAL is doing a good job with this, I'm not sure of the others.

In my years at Delta, I've never flown with anyone who put down other pilots at other airlines.

"GLee", this is the reason I question that you are who you say you are. I've never met anyone at work even remotely like you (thankfully). If you are one of us, I am embarrassed of that fact, as it seems, most of the Delta lurkers/posters here are.

Common sense says, if you've got it good, you're not going to spend your free time on an anonymous web board obsessively debating and ridiculing strangers.

If one person who reads these boards makes generalizations about Delta pilots based on your posts, it is a shame, because they couldn't be more wrong.

Hi, this is an anonymous board. Most people, except you I guess, know that and don't take it so seriously. I enjoy this industry and the rumors and debate that come along with it. I speak for myself, don't have anything on my avatar or description that says anything DL. (It could be any legacy).

But obviously I am a big DL fan, and others on here are free to debate any issue. Regardless, it seems like you and some others are taking this too seriously, and I suggest you don't. FI is about entertainment and rumors. Good luck.

Shauny boy, you are a frustrated RJ pilot with big dreams, but they originate back in Vietnam. Go back there, eat egg rolls, and be an FO on the ATR72. I have a feeling you'll barely pass training, but you'll have a shot at the A320/21 sometime next decade. So, chuc may mắn, (Good luck) and enjoy life with Dahni.....

You must be missing ALL of his slam posts. I return the slams when needed, and he needs it. I'd rather not slam at all, and only debate airline issues.

And what was the bet again?

Telling the truth ruined this board? Come on now! Quit being so emotional, and try to debate the issues.

Ding, ding, ding! I don't generalize Delta pilots with what this "Delta pilot" says. That's because he is not a Delta pilot.

And you are the coolest ramper in Bismark. This is an anonymous board you know, and I have figured out exactly what you do. Remember, lift with your legs, not your back....

I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying where there's a will there's a frog lassoing and elephant. As for CNBC and Bloomberg...forgive me if I don't think they're much of a protection.
