I would luv to know where this info comes from. Have you looked at the results from this year so far? Looks like we are a ways away from posting a loss. I'm not naive enough to say that we will not someday be faced with a losing quarter, but I don't see how it will be in early '08. Unless there are drastic events that take place between now and then. With our hedge positions, we are still in pretty good shape this year and next year. Our net cost for fuel is waaaay below everyone else in the business. I think that our management has done an excellent job positioning the company to be in the best possible position in the event of a recession, etc. I'm not saying we don't have challenges, we do. But loads are good, we have a great relative fuel position, and we have loads of cash in the bank. Times aint great, but they aint bad either.
