"I'm not sure if you saw it, but we're already taking losses. Last quarter was our first in 19 years" False. Our profit was 69 million. There will be profitsharing on this. This "loss" was paper only and related to the devaluation of the hedges. "Remember those Fort airplanes? How much did we pay to buy, overhaul, and significantly modify them only to turn them back for sale only months later. " False. The ford airplanes are still in the fleet. 270 and 271 have been reconfigured and 550 and 551 will be done later. "We're losing our shirts right now as a company thanks to a bunch of crazy hedging contracts which were signed this summer at the peak of the energy cycle. " False again look at the 10q report for the facts on the hedging values. You have our contracts confused with someone elses. ... View more

VegasLUV, The different checks deal with how far the airplane is disassembled and checked. A is the least and can be done in a few hours, D is the longest and can take days/weeks. Normally, the plane will change colors then also. I wish we had those a/c tubes in the mdw hangars! Ding! boy Joe ... View more
