Age 65 didn't happen until December of 2007.
Who wrote that part above? Herb Kelleher?

So, paying down $3 billion in debt in 18 months isn't a revenue generator? How about making $2.5 billion in ancillary revenue last year alone? You still don't see it? You may need to hit the Walmart vision center next time you have a pm layover in LBB, get those eyes checked..... Making that much per year while paying billions for a new JFK terminal and LGA expansion means revenue generation. You might actually need LASIK surgery apparently.

Here is someone shorting DAL...it isn't all roses!

There are also some big wigs on the "inside" buying up stocks. Here's an article about UAL, but notice the DAL part. Data, you really aren't ever leaving your sad situation. Ever.
United Continental Execs Agree: Buy

Insider Monkey tracks insider purchases because they are statistically associated withhigher returns. We are seeing multiple insiders at the same company buying in. This is because while company insiders might have many reasons to sell stock, there is really only one reason to buy: they are so confident in the company’s prospects that they ignore the benefits of diversification and tie their wealth even more tightly to the same company responsible for their income. This consensus of insider buying is what we have just seen this month at United five company officers each reported direct acquisitions of 13,500 shares at prices generally between $18 and $18.30, and CEO Jeffery Smisek bought 55,600 shares at an average price of $18.00. Seeing how earlier this month the CFO of Delta made a large insider buy as well, we can conclude that the remarkably low earnings multiples the market is assigning to many major airlines are undervaluing the stocks.
Bye DATA!

Ok, I'll bite. What's a PBC payout? I know what a PBGC is. Or maybe your friend is as full of ******************** as you!That's true FR8. Sorry I got that wrong. I guess I was focusing on those months, but DL was in bankruptcy for awhile so it would have been another two years to get the extra 5 years of age 65.
Just had a friend tell me a story of a DL Captain having a long, long career there and only left with a PBC payout. I guess he wishes he would have taken the buyout.

That's a great response that only looks to the short term, if I was concerned about the long term, ie my pension, I would look a little further down the road. As the blog mentions, DAL will need 10-13 years of the same performance to meet its...your pension obligations. If the past decade is in any way an indicator of what can happen, I'd say you're screwed. I hope your retirement doesn't turn into a 'sad' situation. It would actually be pretty humorous to the majority on here that think you're a d!ckweed.
40 thousand a year I believe, for 30 years of service at Mother D.
Pretty painful.
PBC??? Idiot. Weren't you critical of me for misspelling the NIC award? Hurry up Red, your fourth leg of the day leaves in 5 mins to Columbus, and then onto MDW. Sounds like so much fun, NOT!

Hey Dork, you completely butchered the man's name. Not even close to leaving a letter out. Got you a little torqued? Hurry and call Virginia Ave, sounds like you might need the next size up on the River Boat Jacket. Don't forget your hat!
Full Steam Ahead
Completely butchered by one letter? I then referred to it as the NIC award, which should suffice. Am I torqued? Hardly. While I enjoy my trips flying to places I want to go and think about upcoming retirements, you sit in MAF or CHM and think about stagnation and how many AT guys were put in front of you that will delay your career progression, meaning 5 leg intra Texas days will be prevalent in your future for years to come. Oh, I heard you might announce Branson, MO next week as a SWA destination. Great for you........? Maybe you'll have nonstops to ISP or AMA?

There are alot of things I don't like about SWA right now. But their marketing team isn't one of them. I'm sure your bosses feel the same way every time SWA increases fares by 10 smacks. It's almost like they control domestic pricing. Soon Red will be enjoying a nice mojito at the El Caribe Hilton in San Juan, the land lock for SWA is almost over.
