Oil Through the Roof and Delta Still Talking About A Possible Profit...

- Hedged considerably on fuel. Big $$. BIG. In a twisted sort of way, the high fuel prices are helping us versus much of the rest of the industry. We are being hurt less than most of the other carriers, and especially the so called "low fare" carriers. Their cost advantages are completely buried by high fuel prices. Levels the playing field, and we win in that sort of environment.

Not sure I follow the logic on this one when you consider how much higher the fuel burn is on an MD-80 or DC-9 compared to a 717 or 737-700. Something on the order of 100 lbs per minute vs 75 lbs per minute. (at least for the 737 - the 717 is close to the same).

OBTW - Don't get me wrong. I certainly hope Delta does turn a profit.

That is what they have been predicting for the year. About 190 million is their estimate

CNBC saying $150 a barrel by July 4th. I wonder how many airlines can handle that? Crazy.

Just talking about a profit doesn't make it so.

On paper.

 

[General Lee]

But wait, we supposedly had a $6.4 BILLION loss last quarter (mostly a paper loss), so things can ONLY get better, right?????

Tell you what, Genital....

Since you are such a fan of your term "paper loss," just go ahead and give me a "paper 1,000 bill" or two.

Since these "paper" things are so insignificant and useless to you-I will do you the favor or lightening your load. Just throw me all the "paper" you want, as long as you don't care-just make sure it says "legal tender."

-Dumbass!

I think his name was CRAMER, and he also said it on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams tonight. You are an idiot. (and I am not making that up)

I heard the same thing on CNN, that certain ANALysts/speculators predict $150 by July 4. These f-ing speculators are half the problem!
