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.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

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

 

[General Lee]

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

Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[Correcting]

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!

I can tell you at least one Airline that its not going to hurt. (at least not until next year). Can you same the samething about Delta. The one bright side to all of this is that you and 737freak( oops I mean pilot) will be my gear monkeys for a long time.

Dude, who pissed in your Cheerios? Have another beer and get off the thread for the night.

Wishing people not to advance is weak, sign of a di(k! Everyone is hurting right now and wondering about their futures, no need to say stupid crap like that!

Just another post that makes me wonder why I even come on here.

I can hold Captain now, and I will bid it probably before the SLI. We will have another bid very soon, and a couple more for new 777 slots (remember we get 6 of them within 3 months time---FIRM ORDER). We may have a joint contract soon, but the SLI will take awhile. The 737-700s are coming shortly, and I will throw a bid in and see if I can get it. I can't wait---it will be FANTASTIC.

Can you all imagine how out-of-control General Lee will be in the left seat?

This fool already has an ego fit for Hitler, he will only get to be more of a freakshow!

-Probably will do a full manual check on all F.O.s and make jumpseaters "drop and give me 20."

-Nice Guy-

Speaking of monkeys, I saw you at the circus last night. I think you're getting paid peanuts!:laugh:

This message is hidden because Jmoney is on your ignore list.

2 posts, I'll bet a case of beer that both of them are about jhomo's infatuation about General Lee!
I see you're still the scared little chicken ******************** posting and running away!

How come you keep responding to each post I make about your "life partner," General Lee, if I am on your "ignore list" again?

Just put me on your "ignore list" again for good, you retard! No one will ever have to suffer your 3rd grade attempts at insult again....

Delta is also taking an $8 million charge this quarter to close certain airport clubs.
In addition, Delta said other cost-saving efforts would result in other expenses.
"Additional charges are expected to be incurred in future quarters in connection with other announced initiatives," the company said.

These guys are going broke saving money !!!

It's all part of a new strategy! Fire everyone, park all the planes, and we will save a ton on fuel!!

-Ingenious, General/737..... Really gifted!

Let's just call this "synergy"... It will sound a lot better!

Hey Boy George, you need to let go of the creepy infatuation with the General. You sound like the stalker from "Blades of Glory".

This doesn't pass the "stink test".

Your non-fuel CASM are still over HALF of the equation on the cost side. So, if everyone is paying the same for fuel, your costs are still higher.
Kind of like the old joke about the airline that "loses a little money on every flight, but makes it up in quantity!". :laugh:

They got 3000 people to accept early out retirements. That's good, making it voluntary. They are being proactive in closing lounges that are not needed, and have other "initiatives" that will help with cost cuts.

He does sound infatuated, and I don't blame him. But, it is creepy. I wouldn't expect anything less from someone from Valdosta, GA though.

I wouldn't be trying to incinuate anything about others if I were you, champ...... If you are actually making a reference to some obscure character in a movie about men's figure skating-I would think you would probably have very little room to call anyone or anything else "creepy."

Allegiant makes money with the 80's. The key will be if the 9 with no lease payment, if used on the right routes can be as cost effective as a new 737 w/a big lease payment and not that much less of a fuel burn.

The 737-700s have different missions then a dc9 does so the comparison isnt a good one on many different levels.

What you can hold is and your ability to pass upgrade are different things.
