Is Northwest Next?

itestwell,

In a way, I can't believe I'm saying this but that was a very astute observation in my opinion.

Some facts....

1 - US made $303 million net, which is what really matters. That means thet there has effectively been one profitable quarter in the 5 quarters since exiting BK. Without the $305 million net profit in 2Q06, that $303 million profit wouldn't be there.

2 - Parker appears to be making US into a larger version of HP - there's been plenty of comments here to that effect. So how did the HP model perform financially in 2006? It lost money, so is that business model the one that will bring success in the future?

Personally, I think US employees would be much better served by worrying about the future of this company than in throwing stones at other carriers.

PS - CO had a larger 2006 net profit than US (over $340 million net), so that blows the "most profitable network carrier" theory out of the water.

Doug selling to Johnny O. would be his revenge. He would obviously be set for life and then be able to say to the emplyees "see how much better you had it under me then Johnny O."

Tell them, "Don't go away mad... just go away."

And how about "Don't Let the Door hit you in the Arse". And for what it is worth WE (as employees East/West) DIDN'T WANT DELTA ANYWAYS......Wall Street DID! (It sure was nice to see you folks squirm !)
