Delta is removing more flights

Go take courses to have a conversation here?

What an arrogant ass.

In addition - DL is losing it's shirt elsewhere since it's current margin company wide is 12.74% or are you just trying to quote operating margin which is 25% - to bad the facts are getting in your way again

DL's margin over the Atlantic and Pacific has indeed been 25% during the peak season.



btw, DL is increasing capacity on PIT-CDG next summer.

I guess in the mindset of some, they plan to make up for their losses by increasing volume.

 

[jcw]

Oh during peak season - so only in the summer - great you are cheery picking numbers again - what is the profitability year round?

 

[WorldTraveler]

on the Atlantic for 1Q14, it was 8.4% and for 2Q it was 15%. For the Pacific even in the 1Q, DL's operating profit margin was 5.5%.

For AA over the Atlantic in 1Q14, it was -1% (right out of BK) and -16% over the Pacific.

 

[jcw]

wow - no where near 25%

 

[WorldTraveler]

in fact, the difference between DL's profit margin over the Pacific is indeed 25%.

and go back and calculate DL's profit margin over the past several years by region. I didn't say it was yesterday.

 

[jcw]

oh so now we have moved from TATL to Pacific - which is the 25% margin - DL must be hemorraging cash in the US if the margins in the Pacific and now TATL are 25% - the numbers just don't add up

 

[WorldTraveler]

nope.
2014 will be DL's 4th year of billion dollar profits in the last 5... poor 2012 only delivered an $870 million domestic operating profit.

 

[jcw]

Ok let's go back to how much money DL lost during bankrupcy
 
you are so biased its not even funny

 

[WorldTraveler]

plz do tell us....

and can you also tell us how many posts you want to have before YOU go to bed?

again, for someone so concerned about what someone else posts, you have no problem posting as fast as the board will allow.

 

[jcw]

we see since you can't type on the keyboard how much DL lost in BK - you change subjects
 
it's a truly amazing how you rationalize things away

 

[WorldTraveler]

no, I'm not going to run down the number... because I know it was a bunch of money.

If you think that AA didn't accumulate a pretty large number, then you are naïve.

BTW, the point of BK was to bring those losses to an end.

the fact that DL's profits are as large as they are now says they did their job in bk.

and they still pay profit sharing to their employees

 

[jcw]

ok so now we are moving back to profit sharing - amazing

 

[swamt]

Keep going jcw, he's just showing his idioticy and moron colors...

DL doesn't generate 25% margins on the Atlantic by flying loss-making routes and the JV doesn't tell them to.

Don't you just hate it when facts ruin a gooDL narrative?
