Not True

This industry has never been good. Next topic.

There was a time between 1984 and 1988, that at the majors you made Captain in five years, pay rasies, better benefits, it was a great time

SKYW stock to fall to 9.00 (is 20.00 now).....this according to DEN FO, its ishare so it must be true. (benifits)

Get in where you fit in boys. You might be there a while. I think I'm all set for now. I'm enjoying the adventure, but maybe I'm sick. I didn't become a pilot get rich (although that would be a nice side affect). I signed up because I knew it would put me in situations that I never would have been in otherwise, and because I knew that I would meet people and see things that most people don't think exist. Get on the bull now because..... your 8 seconds doesn't last long. YeeeHaw!

So you are telling me that they are going to offer leave to 30K, and hope only 2K take it?

Uh, Yup.

DAL will take a loss on Comair (no buyers), and they will disappear, allowing DAL to post a huge hit on it's balance sheet and force a "the sky is falling" scenario on it's employees. If they can't succeed in forcing labor groups to merge with NWA, they will dip into BK in the next 2 years.
UAL and CAL will raise it's head again and XJET will be the lucky loser.
MESA is going to lose it's appeal in Hawaii and suffer another huge one in court, when Aloha gets it's day!
MESA will go into BK and will disappear, as even UAL leaves it twisting in the wind!
SkyWest will slow down, but will force any hits that it has to take on ASA. Overall, SkyWest will be fine.
RAH has already started pulling away from the 50 seat market and this will accelerate - it's hard to be objective about the company you work for, so any thoughts??
Colgan will grow with the Q400 and will expand it to UAL and others.

I hate the state of the industry in general, but it's market correction. Some will fold and whoever can weather the storm will see rapid growth and profits returning in excess.

DAL will have enough $$ to weather any storm. If they sell Comair, it will just improve their cash positions. Anytime another Carrier ceases operations, Delta will benefit. The Airline Market is correcting itself, all the way back to 2001. Right now it's a game of who has the most money to outlast any and all competition. Whoever is left standing will see rapid expansion and soaring profits. Southwest is another who will weather the storm no problem, (lots of cash on hand).....SkyWest the same.

With the state of our economy, the price of oil and all other things in mine, I don't see rapid growth or rapid profits for at least 5 years or so. I am no analyst, but it will take a number of years to turn this situation around.
