Enough for the Execs to get a nice bonus, but not enough for the Execs to think there isn't enough money to spread around to the worker bees.

I (SERIOUSLY) hope you guys do well $$$$$$$$ !!!

But in a weird kind of way, those profits will come with a "cost".......(I know that sounds strange, so I'll explain)

Parker IMO is "in over his head" as a airline CEO.
Couple that with his INSATIABLE desire to "MERGE/ACQUIRE",(Tilton-II) makes him a DANGEROUS Guy.

He has ABSOLUTELY "ZERO" Idea, how to fix PHL(NOT AN EASY TASK), but a task notheless that MUST be fixed, and very soon.

This PHL situation is going to fester and GROW, like a malignant TUMOR !!

To fix PHL, there needs to be a "BOSTON-"BIG DIG" scenario, on a somewhat smaller scale !!

As I've said before, "this" (PHL) situation bare's VERY CLOSE WATCHING.

Good luck !

I have absolutely no idea, but here's what the "experts" say according to First Call.....

Consensus Esitmate - approximately $90 million

Lowest estimate - approximately $75 million

Highest estimate - approximately $105 million

One thing to watch is the effect fuel hedges have on the bottom line. American took a charge of $91 million on it's hedging positions in the 3rd quarter, while Southwest took a charge of $173 million.

How about at $78 Million loss?

 

[longing4piedmont]

How about at $78 Million loss?

How about READING and COMPREHENDING the press release.....

Don't let the facts get in your way......

 

[700UW]

Apparently you cant do either.

A loss is a loss, no matter if there are special charges.

Slow down sparky and read it.

Would some one PLEASE explain to the IAM brain trust what an operating profit is. 🙄 Appears the ramp gators are effecting his comprehending skills.

So I guess you know more the Rueters and US Airways?

CHICAGO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - US Airways Group (LCC.N: Quote, Profile, Research), formed last year from the merger of US Airways and American West Airlines, on Thursday posted a net loss for the third quarter.

The airline said the loss amounted to $78 million, or 88 cents per share, compared with a loss of $99 million, or $5.74 per share, for American West Airlines a year earlier. For accounting purposes, America West was treated as the acquiring company.

I see you have been attending the school of cut and paste held by a certain US pilot (who doesn't have a clue about fuel hedges either). If you are going to cut and paste, save yourself the embarrasement of being proven wrong again and showing the world how biased you are by not posting the next two lines..... Or maybe my attention span is capable of reading more than six words before going off on a tangent.

* Excluding special items, the Company reported a third quarter 2006 net
profit of $101 million or $1.09 per diluted share, which compares to First
Call's mean estimate of $1.01. * The Company accrued $12 million, or 10 percent of its third quarter 2006
pretax income excluding special items, for its annual employee profit
sharing program. This brings the year-to-date 2006 employee profit sharing
program accrual to $48 million.
* The Company had $3.0 billion in total cash and investments, of which $2.3
billion was unrestricted, on Sept. 30, 2006.

Got to run now and do something more enjoyable. Root canal at 10:00 this morning. Maybe you can take the time and read the press release slowly while I'm gone.....
