Should I break out the beer and drink everytime they say "quarter" "profit" "loss" or "synergies?"

This a regular ole boring conference call? Or will it actually have some sweet kool-aid substance to it?
 
That could be an interesting drinking game. I'm sure they will lay out a plan for getting everything in line. I'll be on later to tell you what the other side envisions....

Bahahhaa you said... "plan."

So the words I can come up with really are:

-Profit
-Margin
-Loss
-Quarter
-Merger
-Appreciate

Any other suggestions?

Whats your beer? I have started to enjoy Amstel after drinking it while watching the Netherlands in the world cup. But I also have a whole shelf of PBR to go through.

Im going with my Amstel. I dont particularly think this conference call is worth more than a PBR, but because of month to month issues, Im working 7 out of 8 days in a row, so I want a decent beer.

Fat tire gets two thumbs up.
 
Unless they announce it later in this call, Doug S. just let it slip that Qs are going to EWR and CLE, but that information hasnt been formally announced to the crews yet.
 
Interesting that Spanjers briefs safety as first item. what a classy outfit compared to the other two who pretty much only focus on cost.

I thought he said through CLE, like we used to do 2 summers ago.
 
Hopefully, Mesaba's CEO will find a place in the Pinnacle Board room. Sounds like the company has it's act together. Unfortunately, they were cost out of business by the superior metrics of their competitor's ability to generate consistently higher revenue yields over the previous quarter, while simultaneously reducing their overall debt to equity ratio. Thereby enhancing the company's balance sheet and leverage of their overall cost structure...

I was impressed by Spanjer's presentation. I like how they put safety front and center. Seems they actually have measurable goals and they assess and set those quarterly whereas it seems like we just talk about it.

I also noticed Mx performance was second. They also emphasize product quality.

Overall I think this is the correct approach for long term viability. Not merely cost, cost, cost and uhhhhm oh yeah cost.
 
I couldn't even get into it. Kept getting an error from AT&T. Not that I'm surprised. No talk about the upcoming merger? Did they just talk about everything EXCEPT the 800 lb gorilla in the room?

Our training and safety department is second to none. But that comes at a cost and I heard that our training and safety department is costly. It's really unfortunate that good training and a good safety program comes with a price tag. I really hope we take our training and safety department with this merger, but I'm not holding my breath.
