So as fuel goes up fares come down

[scarlet]

This merger is really going to fix DL/NW? If you go to any DL or NW flight most likely in any of their hubs they are selling seats on each others flights and even CAL already.????

I guess if you merge and cut the dc-9s and md-80(88)(90) out and layoff alot of people and close two-three bases then yeah they will cut alot of money out.=DL really has some real losers for Mangt. Like having what 7-8 connection carriers?

 

[Wheres the van?]

Could be a good old cash burn by DL.How long would it take them to bankrupt Airtran by destroying there yields,$345 mil would be ate up pretty quickly with $126 barrel oil and no yields.

Yeah, that strategy has worked so well before.

I cant mow my grass for less than 49 bucks in fuel

You either need a smaller yard or need to have your wife push the mower a little faster. $49 bucks? Are you insane?

I'm on beer 3. At some point, could you use a shared destination from (ATL/SLC/CVG/DTW/MSP/MEM/JFK/BOS) (any combo you want), and actually replace the RJ's and do more of a modified point to point? Less frequency and the same or more seats?

Lets see here Airtran just shot down a contract for $181 an hour in the left seat of the 717 because they didnt want to reduce scope. My hats off to them. If Delta were bringing those 70-90 seat jets on property that could have been job protection for Delta pilots when oil really starts to peak.

Actually, the average fares have been rising of late.
