Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know Newsby SA Editor Rachael Granby- Bank trio becomes duo. Wells Fargo (WFC) will become the largest U.S. bank by branches with its bid for Wachovia (WB), after Citigroup (C) withdrew from compromise negotiations late yesterday on concerns about the quality of some of Wachovia's assets. Wells Fargo, with a bid valued at $11.4B, expects the purchase to be completed by the end of the year, and denies it will have to absorb assets shakier than originally thought.
- Government considers next steps. As the financial crisis continues to worsen, the U.S. government is considering two dramatic steps to turn around, or at least slow, the damage: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits. The moves, which would mark the government's most extensive intervention to date, are in discussion stages only.
- Credit stays frozen. As frozen credit markets refuse to thaw, the cost of default protection on corporate bonds reaches new global records amid investor concerns the credit crisis will trigger corporate failures as companies struggle to finance their businesses. Interbank lending remains limited, and borrowing from the Fed's expanded discount window continued its trend of setting new highs every week, as the total daily average rose to $420.2B vs. $367.8B last week.

3M (MMM) -- The moment this stock starts yielding 5%, I'm a buyer. Until then, keep your powder dry.Bearish Calls:Computer Sciences (CSC) -- This is a company that was going to be bought, but they passed up the chance. Now I don't want to buy it."Email continues...

Customer Omega for the Airlines
Is it SOO hard to understand. Yes tickets can be changed over the phone, they are e-tickets. The airlines aren't going to make a provision to change paper tickets over the phone, as that is what an e-ticket is, so get over it. They are instead doing everything they can to get rid of paper tickets.
And I don't understand why you would attack me for telling an idiot like jarvis to shut up. He obviously has no idea what he is talking about, and should keep quiet. He's used this silly paper ticket issue to throw a hissy-fit about the airlines. He completely blew the whole thing out of proportion, to the point of calling it a "buttfucking"... by the airlines. I'm still laughing about that btw.
I don't think you understand what a troll is. Here let me help you.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
""STFU"... Big words for someone hiding behind a pseudonym, Roadwarrior.", now THAT is trollish.
No if I were to reply with something like...
"(*sigh* Trolls... )" Gay much? C'mon dude, be a man.
THAT would be trollish, which is why I wouldn't do something like that.
Strength and Honor,

Maybe if I asked you questions about the latest episode of "Friends" or "Mad About You", you would respond with an intelligent answer. But wait, those shows are long gone, just like your knowledge and relevance.
Also, "Shawn Levasseur". because that is what an e-ticket is. Can you call your bank and have them break a $100 bill over the phone? or access their website and have them break the same $100 bill online?. No. That's the point. A paper ticket is just that a PAPER TICKET. That is what a paper is. That's why the airlines are changing everything over to e-tickets.
And I will say.. Having flown as both airline employee (in my case "Mother Delta") and as Pax. I have always been treated just fine by the airlines. But I also didn't have unrealistic expectations. And I think that is exactly what this article is all about, expecting the world (including pealed grapes) for the rock-bottom price.
All: Jarvis is just a sad, pissy faced little man who does not know what he is talking about.
Jarvis: Unless you can come up with a more intelligent response than "bye bye, now", simply admit that you have no idea what you are talking about or kindly STFU.

"I'm so impressed that you can use jargon like "pax"" People in this industry use terms such as "pax" because they are familiar with them, not to impress you You only think they are trying to impress you, because you think to highly of yourself.
"Why should I want to be treated like anything other than shit?" You aren't being treated like shit by the airlines, neither is the rest of America.
The people of America have voted with their wallets. Americans shop at Wal-Mart is droves. They are trying to turn the airlines into Wal-Mart.
Many of the airline employees you so happily deride, actually long for the good ol' days of air travel. But pax flat out refuse to pay for anything more than basic transportation. So they get what they pay for, Wal-Mart in the skies. It's quite simple to understand.

IDIOTA!
It's a paper ticker, P A P E R T I C K E T. Airlines don't force people to get paper tickets, pax request them, and in many cases pay more for having that paper ticket.
How is it the airline buttfucking her for providing her with the paper ticket she wanted?
"Screwing your customers is no business model, folks." Thats not their business model. It is the airline industry that you, and the rest of America have chosen. The level of service you get is exactly how much you are willing to pay for. Your welcome.

And the all biz airlines you love so much, more coming? Maxjet already shut down and the others wont be far behind. You might know that if you actually knew how to research the things you write about. Or if you actually flew one of those airlines, which I highly doubt.
Relationship with the airlines? That relationship is a two-way street called reality. You might want to go there sometime.
Big oil and cheap-ass passengers who choose one airline over the other based on fare that is $5 cheaper are the cause of the current airline woes.
Please, please pull your head out of your ass.
