"The company said it was 86 percent hedged for the first quarter, reducing fuel and oil expense by $155 million and enabling it to record a $27 million related accounting gain. Hedging is a strategy to buy fuel in advance at set prices and has paid substantial dividends to airlines that have used it."


I could be wrong, but I heard that American sold their Hedged fuel to SW a while back. Maybe if AA wouldn't have let go of that fuel, they would be the ones making a profit. Has anybody else heard that?

I don't trust anything MSNBC has to say. They are, after all, just a news organization with lots of full-time journalists. As for me, I will only trust the expert opinions and sage advice of our esteemed insurance salesman, Lowecur. I wonder what his take is on all of this?

Hahaha! I always get that one mixed up myself. tripples vs. triples.

So what's the delio...are we all going to wind up as SWA FO's making 60 grand a year flying 9 legs a day in a 737, or is there still hope that the easy life awaits us?
