You wrote "the U.S. carrier with the longest period of profitability since 9/11 and the shortest period of losses since 9/11." I'm curious how you define that. And I'm pretty sure there's a group of folks down at DAL that might challenge the notion.

WN and CO posted profits. DL's loss decreased, though that's still not great. UA, US, F9 and AA all posted losses. I stopped looking at this point, but there are some carriers that aren't losing money out there. I'm glad that B6 is profitable for the year, but claiming that they have the longest period of profitability doesn't really work unless you can define that.
