Something Big at DELTA

[GuppyWN]

What? We're just a bunch of guys poking at each other at "the bar" having a little fun. If you take it personally then you have a very thin skin.

Gup

Poking fun is fine. It's just devolved into juvenile humor at this point, and I personally think we have better things to do with our time.

If you like, I can move it over into non-aviation chat and you all can continue to have at each other.

Or I'm just stressed out beyond all belief, maybe I'd have a better sense of humor on a different week...

O'Doyle Rules!!!!

 

[GuppyWN]

It's all good Lear. There are different personalities involved. Some guys just can't hang with the big dogs!

LOL,
Gup

 

[Whataburger]

And I'm about THIS close to shutting it down.

And people wonder why we're not respected by management anymore...

What FI rules are THIS close to being broken?

 

[KNOTS]

acl is gonna tell us dal is gonna buy jal- its a done deal-- oh that's right, he was wrong predicting that--- never mind

Actually, the whole thread is inappropriate for the forum it's posted in, since no actual DISCUSSION about Delta is taking place.

Therefore, as a mod, I have two options: move it to non-aviation chat or just delete the whole thing.

I tend not to do that to most threads, unless they're just out of hand (and this one was getting there), but you caught me in rare form. Lots going on professionally right now and today was the wrong day for me to have to be moderator here...

I enjoy the banter, and try not to break any rules. YES, this has gotten a bit out of hand. Regardless, this is all in good fun, and yes, I still look FANTASTIC. Europe is still fun, and YES, I still like the sundaes while NOT in El Paso. Ok, I will tone it down a bit....sorry Lear...


Bye Bye--General Lee

Sorry there Lear, I hope your tomorrow is better! I thought the "Your Mamma jokes" would cheer you up? It always makes me laugh and my audience at the Laugh Barn on Thursday nights!

[Lear70]

No worries. Most of the time I don't step in, but there was NO information, just jibes, and it hit me the wrong way with all the stress. Sorry if I got snippy. Usually I just shake my head, laugh, and move on...

We'll see how things pan out next week... until then, day by day, my friends, day by day.

Let's see...something big at DAL. They're going to actually turn a profit one of these quarters?

A Profit would actually be BIG news for these guys! It has been a while. An annual profit would be HUGE news.... I wouldn't hold my breath on the latter, though.

 

[GogglesPisano]

Expect a profit of $500M in Q2.

 

[CaptWidgeon]

Actually, the "big" comment was then followed by "LONG." I told the guy, "Hey, I am not from LBB, and I certainly don't play with "corndogs" like guys at a certain LCC...." He ran out after that, thank gawd!


Bye Bye--General Lee

you're back pedaling. you missed that angle, now go back to your rj.

ACL or anybody else for that matter never said DAL is going to buy JAL. However, DAL was very close to luring JAL into Skyteam. It did not pan out due to some last minute manuevering by the new JAL CEO. But ACL was very close. After all...this is a rumor board.

"The General" . . . . 13,970 comeuppances delivered, and counting.

 

[Tanker Clown]

The big news is, that after much thought, they are going to reopen SONG!!!!! It was so great last time that they figured it would do great again. Compared to how much Delta normally loses in a quarter, they figure they will still lose money with Song....just not as much as normal.

Here's to another year hemoraging a few hundred million Delta/Song boys! Hope it doesn't cause you guys to lower the bar any more than you already have!

 

[AnimalTale]

Tanker,

Your writing style emulates General Lee. It seems you have an alter-ego.

Good to hear from you. Lets get those DAMM Beers!

The Rj is Awesome. Especially those "provided" David Clarks!!

CYA

 

[IXLR8]

Merger with NWA is what I heard.

Never gonna happen....
