So, how big was Song's er..Delta's loss this time?

[Full of LUV]

What do you expect them to say, that the airline will suck??? CEOs and VPs are payed to keep the panic low so you worker bees don't start whining. Leo Mullin was an expert at it no matter how bad it was, it wasn't that bad...as long as the golden parachute is still there, we will be allright. Just lie to these people long enough for me to get my millions and leave. Naive of you to believe what yout MGMT tells you, don't you think? Especially since your MGMT has never left you out to dry. If you loose money, you lost money...that's all there's to it.

Your right, it's a horrible, despicable place to work and fly. Please do not apply, find a place where you can get "payed" correctly and that they do not "loose" money, and apply there! No puddle jumpers needed.

General, you forgot to mention the Deisel 9-50s, Saabs and 60 more CRJs are being phased out after Labor Day. Talk about capacity reduction. Is this Dicky's answer to the LUV/AAI merger? This will be interesting to watch and see how this plays out and where the cuts will happen most. PNCL and Mesaba will lose out for sure.

Incorrect. The news to dump the DC9s was old new, which stated 12-18 months for the parkings. That was just extended to 18 months for all of them. 6 were supposed to be parked this year, and that has now been cancelled by marketing, since they still need them. They will actually undergo C checks or D checks, instead of dumping them in the desert. The Saabs will be phased out, or given to USAir for LGA service until our LGA slot swap is approved by the GOVT (the major contention was SWA wanted DCA slots, and now they have them with Airtran). The RJs will be phased out, but mainly from Comair, which will be down to 44 total planes. Most of their flights are leaving CVG, a place SWA and Airtran haven't wanted to go to yet. The 8-10% Trans Atlantic reduction after Labor Day will occur for 3 months, which actually is normal at Delta. Every year since '96 I have seen this happen, a drawdown from the busy Summer and then less frequency per week to those destination (actually giving longer layovers, which can be nice), and at the same time giving DL time to put some of those planes through yearly MX. Wall Street sure liked the news, which lifted DL stock 97 cents yesterday. I can assure you that Delta will probably NOT draw down and ATL service when you waltz in there. But, you may win out on some of the routes, like Tunica and Branson, MO. Good for you.

I guess the fact that Delta,s stock had tanked 30% in the last 90 days had nothing to do with it.... Keep sticking your head in the sand my friend!!!

OYS opens mouth and makes no sense at all. I'm just stating a fact. Why do you get so defensive? Are you that little that you can't have a discussion based on facts. Obviously not. Personally I could care less if delta loses or makes 10 billion dollars. As a matter of fact I hope you guys get a big fat contract because thats the only possible way anything or anyone from delta is going to have any effect on my Quality of life. Throwing around a playground insult is actually amusing. It tells me that your overmatched and thats the best you can do. Thanks for the laughs. Have a great day..

This is a rumor I have heard also. I just learned that it is a false rumor, and the 50s will be parked, starting this summer as originally planned. (from a high up fellow)

Have a nice day.

That's not what the President of Delta stated. Have fun with your high up fellow. My day is going great.

Gimmee a break. Higher oil has hurt almost all airline stocks, but the Japan stuff has hurt Delta more because it was more exposed to that particular problem. Everyone knew it was going to hurt Q1 financials. Q1 is always worse than Q2 and Q3, and then stock will climb back up, and then maybe come down again after Q4 results. It isn't that hard to understand. Airlines do better in the Spring and Summer. I thought OYS' slams were hillarious. And, he could have called you Bob Pisanni or someone else at CNBC that was uglier than Trish Regan. Start feeling better about your appearance now, Trish.
