Jetblue may bid on ATA gates at MDW

[Wesb737fo]

Hmmm.


If anyone has seen "Saving Private Ryan" you might remember the scene where the Rangers are picking through the dog tags of the dead Airborne guys. They rather loudly read the names of the unfortunate s.o.b's like they are at a poker game, while unaware that live Airborne troopers are watching their actions.

Yeah, I know it "sucks to be me" and if I don't like what's on the board, I should go get a life and not read it. Really, the previous posts don't bother me. Some of you guys have informed opinions, but I just want to ask Lowcur if he even flies airplanes for a living.

wait a second...

Nice comment regarding JetBlue. Why do you make such supportive public statements such as the one above about a group of people trying to earn a living?

Sun, here's a lesson about military flying. Keep your mouth shut until you've earned the right to open it. Looking at your background, ANG Hopeful, you are a long way from even entering the conversation. Statements such as the one above just make you look/sound like an idiot. Go back and play with your Pipers and Cessnas, leave real flying to professionals.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have no problem with Jetblue crews, and I think if you did a search you would see that. I have friends working for Jetblue, and I don't wish them or anybody else in this industry any ill will. That being said, I have a big problem with lowecur spilling forth propaganda on this board about his precious Embraer 170/190 series and talking about how they are going to beat SWA at their own game, at their largest base of operations. All he ever does is put forth the same regurgitated material that every other analyst puts out regarding Jetblue's performance and growth potential. You guys offer a good product, and you have been successful. I am happy for that. However, anybody thinking Jetblue is going to run SWA out of what is paramount to "their" airport, with an unproven airplane at that, is foolish at best. It doesn't take a major airline pilot or aviation analyst to realize that.

My comment was based towards lowecur alone, not you or any other JBU pilot. Read it again, within the context of the rest of my post, and you should see this. If you wanna hold that comment against me personally in my attempt to join an ANG unit, well thats your perrogative.

Getting back to the topic at hand, I feel sorry for the ATA guys and gals, as I have spoken with many recent hires during the sim portion of their interview. I sincerely hope everything works out in the end.

I am not a religious guy but "Amen" to that. I think what bugs me about numbnuts LowerIQ is that it is the same B.S. day after day. He post a press release then adds his idiotic prophecy to it. Then he is proven wrong. But, instead of him retreating to Insuranceman .com he starts a new thread the next day.
Ahhh instead of that EMB fanatic wasting more of my time i am off to something more interesting - flashyourrack.com

"serenity now"

Apparently you overlooked this:

The first offer for the 14 Midway gates came in Tuesday when ATA reached a definitive sale agreement for the gates with Orlando-based AirTrans Airways for $89.95 million. The proposed deal would include the Chicago operation, two gates at New York LaGuardia and one at Reagan Washington.

Details will come out, and I don't believe they will include those gates.

I don't think MDW is their largest base of operations in terms of flights. In case you haven't noticed, this board fills out 75% of it's threads with propaganda from everyone's perspectives. It's called discussion, and I do it more civil than most.

Nice statement Now he just thinks you're another "F" teen dumba$$.

Why don't we all just start speculating about an industry we know nothing about, like the insurance industry. We can discuss the scandal with broker's commissions, and AIG etc.

On the the other hand, how FREAKIN BORNIG would talking about insurance be? Can you blame a pilot / airline manager wanna be? To borrow from the younger generation's venacular: POSER!

I think his Avatar sums it up. Is that some part of a farm/ "deliverance" style fantasy of his?

On the the other hand, how FREAKIN BORNIG would talking about insurance be? Can you blame a pilot / airline manager wanna be? I'm not a pilot/airline mgr want to be, I'm an amateur analcyst. I have no desire to fly planes or manage an airline, I'm just a prognosticator....and a good one. To borrow from the younger generation's venacular: POSER! Yes, only with my clothes on.

I think his Avatar sums it up. Is that some part of a farm/ "deliverance" style fantasy of his? No, that's boing's fantasy.

Freudian slip?

Freudian slip?

Not at all Dennis. It's called humor!

Now jetjockey... you can't cut on lowecur's avatar. It would be the best avatar out there if it wasn't for all the boobs bouncing around. Hands down the best movie of all time.

Take care

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper, you know a caddy, a looper, a jock. So I tell them I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me? The Dali Lama, himself. Twelth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald...striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one ---big hitter, the Lama--long, into a ten-thousand foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga..gunga--gunga galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and .. He's gonna stiff me! And I say, "Hey Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know". And he says, "Oh, uhh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So , I got that goin' for me, which is nice...."
