Airline second quarter financial results (some surprises). |
|
Plus side: Southwest Airlines ... net income of $113 million US Airways ... net income of $34 million JetBlue Airways ... net income of $21.5 million AirTran Airways ... net income of $16.8 million American Airlines ... net income of $6 million America West Airlines ... net income of $5.7 million
Minus side: Alaska Airlines ... net loss of $1.7 million Continental Airlines ... net loss of $17 million Northwest Airlines ... net loss of $182 million United Airlines ... net loss of $247 million Delta Air Lines ... net loss of $1.96 billion
Delta lost $1.96 billion? That's $21.8 million a day! That's almost a million dollars an hour! Is Ken Lay running Delta now?

1. Why doesn't Delta outsource all the jobs like ticketing agents, |
|
pilots and cabin attendants to India?They already outsource all their reservations and call centers.A little extra push and turn a loss into oodles and oodles of profits.

4. Fuel is WAY up, Delta's fleet is inefficient; ticket prices are down. |
|
And I think they had some 'special charges' -- one time writeoffs, not all cash out the door.
