here are the q2 results....

[as the prop turns]

Could you imagine the money we would have made had we still had SABRE and money wasn't just walking out the door. The girls in the Club in PHL have said they don't see our Elites the way they used to. Pax way down in the club. These idiots in Tempe have no idea how to run a major global carrier and I'm sorry folks, for an airline this size with the flights full, this ain't a lot of money.

I guess I take a more simplistic view than others. For me, the "Big Picture" items are 1; total employment up 6%, and 2;operational numbers in the sewer, BUT STILL made a quarter of a billion bucks over a 3 month period.

Interesting how a profit can draw such a negative response. Maybe it's the mood we're in...who knows.

worried about your stock falling into the toilet? sorry, it's already there....

What would it have been if those darn "eastie" pilots weren't blowing fuel out the back of those engines like water flowing over Niagara Falls?

Wonder how much money U would have made in Chapter 7? There wouldn't have been any labor costs......

Any adults have a take on why the West lost $8 million this quarter?

I wasn't counting on that stock. That's something the negotiators at ALPA like to trade for ...not me.

Nope. Sold all my LCC at around $46 when it hovered there for several days many months back.

LCC stock can drop to the penny range and I could not care less.

And why shouldn't LCC be in the toilet? That's where the operation is.

Interesting that they had such a bad quarter. Net Loss for the quarter was $8 mil. How could they have had a $47 mil operating income from the first quarter (typically the slowest), yet a $25 mil operating loss in the second quarter (typically the strongest)?

Here's what the part of the report says. Looks like there's some revenue transferred to US from AWA.

Additionally, due to the merger of the AWA and US Airways reservations systems in March 2007, all ticket sales for transportation previously issued by AWA are now issued by US Airways. As a result, while AWA earns passenger revenues when operating flights for US Airways, all revenue adjustments resulting from the periodic evaluation of the air traffic liability account are now recorded by US Airways.

As discussed above, as a result of the merger of the reservation system in March 2007, all ticket sales for transportation previously issued by AWA are now issued by US Airways. Accordingly, all revenues associated with ticket reissuance and change fees are now earned by US Airways rather than AWA.

Not sure how much we're talking about here (Boeing Boy can probably come up with a guesstimate), but every dollar transferred in this manner increases US revenue while simultaneously reducing AWA's....it's a double whammy favoring the East.

I saw that but don't have a clue how much it represents.

One way to tell is to look at th Load factors % for both East and West....

FA negotiations moving slower, tied up with "pilot issues."

Moving slower, I fail to see how they could move any slower then they already were without stopping!

East Operating Income: $320 mil

West Operationg LOSS: $25 mil
who saved who?

Hey pinhead, did you read this part:

Obviously not.

Why did you even respond to that?? It was so clear that my 8yr old got it!!

Wait a minute, I can't harass you about responding to these nuts when I do it too

"pinhead", obviously you are projecting, again.

If, as you imply, all HP ticket sales were shoved to US, the disparity would be quite a bit greater.

All they are saying is that those flights that rightfully belong to the East would finally be credited to the East instead of bolstering the flagging West operation with extraneous "revenue" stolen from other sources. It gives lie to the line about the Nicholau "award" biased to the financially "secure" carrier.

You lose. Have a good day.

How do I lose? I'm probably senior to you.

I doubt it, but, good luck anyway, because you are really gonna need luck to make up for your lack of experience.

I am reminded of the Allegheny Capt. I flew with who made a total donkey of himself, just like you people. I made a distinction between sides of the cockpit and they cleared him for whatever he wanted and my side of the cockpit got cleared for the real approach. End result. He sat on the beach for 180 days and ATC had nothing but accolades for me. and that was in PHX. Bet they remember me and forget you.

Have a good day.
