[Emphasis mine]DL still has to demonstrate it is right - that is accountability - just like what those on here who argue any position.
Looks like Spectator and friends registered some new usernames.Wow, -3 as of this writing, Jim. Spectator and crew must be in the house...
Trying to not interrupt here Gents with all of your kind responses to each other but, I'm still trying to figure out how the refinery will produce 30% of it's capacity in Jet-A, a still unknown % of other product/breakdown to be traded off and still cover 80% of DL's Domestic fuel in the entire US! Does anyone know the average output of BBLs per day at Trainer or its projected rate after the Mods are complete? Better yet, what is DL's daily average gallon use per day in Domestic routing in the US? BBLs will be fine, I can divide!Looks like Spectator and friends registered some new usernames.
I hope it doesn't burst your bubble to find out that not everyone on this board moves in lockstep with you 3 who seem to share a heritage of being shown to be wrong by WT but yet are unable to admit it.
Note that the article I cited above notes that a PETROLEUM, not an airline, expert sees the value of the deal in shifting the competitive advantage to DL.
Somewhere I read that Trainer can refine 185,000bpd and that DL expects to turn 30% of that into jetA, which would be 55,500bpd and further that DL said that it expects Trainer to produce 800 million gallons of jetA per year. That might be possible since 55,500bpd would equal 851 million gallons and perhaps 800 million gallons per year would be possible. If DL can trade everything else Trainer produces for jetA, that would be a total of 2.67 billion gallons per year. Last year, DL bought a total of about 3.8 billion gallons worldwide, so 2.67 billion gallons may very well be 80% of its domestic consumption.Trying to not interrupt here Gents with all of your kind responses to each other but, I'm still trying to figure out how the refinery will produce 30% of it's capacity in Jet-A, a still unknown % of other product/breakdown to be traded off and still cover 80% of DL's Domestic fuel in the entire US!

I have no trouble believing that the refinery can refine 185k bpd of crude and not knowing much about refining, I can even buy the 30% jetA figure. My difficulty is believing that Trainer (and the associated trades/swaps of refined products) will net DL $300 million per year on an investment of just $250 million. Claims of a 120% annual return always sets off alarm bells for me.
Shall I assume from all your talk of not being a refining or petroleum expert that you won't be claiming that you were right if DL does manage to make the Trainer deal work? Or is all that double-talk reserved for when you're wrong, letting you can claim that you didn't say Trainer would be a success?
