Six Profitable Airlines

[Networ-King]

Hey Palerider,

sounds like your the only Dikhead on this board that has a chip on his shoulder about that issue. As a previous Freight Dog, Commuter Dog, 121 Supplemental guy, A Current Delta Furloughee, ....... you can kiss my a$$. Your the kind of guy that gives all pilots a bad name...... regional or mainline. Get over it..............................................

This TOOL made me forget why I signed in...............

I think that Air Willy also posted a profit.............anyone?

Air Wisc. is privately held, but the owners did make money last year. Not sure how much.

You poor baby....what a classy response from the elite DAL pilot group. So you've flown a bunch of sh.itty jobs, so have I, so have MOST people on this board....so you're furloughed...I've been furloughed before as well...BFD...DEAL WITH IT.

You want me to kiss you @ss?? I'm sure a fat wallet and a DALPA card would be in the way.

Listen, Man. I feel for the DAL furloughees...If I could wave a wand and put everyone back to work, I would. But the ONLY one with a chip on his shoulder is YOU.

CMR/ASA and many other "small jet" airlines MAKE money--you and your kind are QUICK to remind us we are NOT a part of DAL (as in giving us a DAL seniorioty number), so we're separate...fine. You can't have it both ways.

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, so I'm done with it, and I'm done with cry-babies.

OK, one more post....you say you're a former regional guy. I'll bet you were an FO at DAL until the furlough. I can tell this by your attitude. The new mainline FO's are ALWAYS the AS.SHOLES who forgot where they came from and are the most violent toward anyone at the regional/national level trying to get a foothold.

Just an observation, that's all I have to say.......

Sorry for the redundancy, this is not the thread to duke it out re: seniority numbers. I was trying to avoid re-directing the thread from the original post...........I merely wanted to respond to an unsolicited attack.

Palerider957,

I definitely haven't forgotten where I came from, and have always felt fortunate to be getting paid for what I love to do, regardless of what plane I was flying. Yes, I enyoyed my 1Yr. 8Mos. at DAL, but I never rubbed anyones face in it. Good luck in your career.

Palerider,


Your true colors came out in you ridiculous post. You including me with the a$$holes at DAL or any other major makes you look like an idiot because you have no idea who I am, and I think everybody already sees that. Why don't you go and look at all my posts and tell me the time that I did not defend the regional guys. I know exactly where I came from and I was not bragging by any means about that. Just letting you know that I have been there and done that. I am furloughed, but I am flying and I am thankful for that, but what you don't seem to realize is that not all of us are against you. One list? Yeah I was at eagle and knew that would never happen back then so I moved on. And I flew 121 supplemental after eagle, before I made it to DAL. DAL management along with most of the CEO's out there in this industry are a bunch of A$$holes and you better believe they'll come knocking on your door for consessions. Do I think you guys should take a pay cut? NO...... Do you deserve one? NO I know how much money you make at the regionals and Im against it, but its a trend and management will be knocking soon. So don't go generalizing that all DAL new hires are A$$holes cause I could come back and say all of you Comair guys are RJDC guys. Dont know if you are or not, but Im not going to accuse you of it. So get the chip off your shoulder not all of us are against you.

New Forum

You delta guys need a forum all your own where you can hijack every thread and cry and whine about each other and the unfairness of it all; just like you do here.

 

[trainerjet]

They already have one. It's the ALPA board. Apparently, that's not good enough.

Hey Andy,
I have a thoughtful question for you. If SkyWest, ACA, XJet, and Mesa were in the business of selling seats for profit(no fee-for-departure), would they still have been profitable this year? In the jet regional/national category, I believe that Horizon is the only airline not supported by fee-for-departure and they were not profitable in the quarter. Simply curious and please correct me where needed.....

I seriously doubt it. Your point???

Express Jet's income doesn't include paying for their RJ's...those are paid for by Big CAL.

Fuzzy math.

That is incorrect SWA Guy (H.C.)

Actually aircraft leases and a lot of other things are paid for by ExpressJet. ExpressJet subleases their aircraft from CAL, but the leases are being paid by ExpressJet at this time.
