AER reports 42 cents - remarkably similar in many ways to AYRs report with the exception that year-over-year looks worse for AER.

That said, the numbers sure seem to look fantastic to me. Q3 08 was a great quarter and comparing to it may be a bit unfair in this climate. Add to this the impending acquisition of GLS and some associated costs and AER seems to have done a bang-up job this quarter.

This is a beat over consensus of 40 - not bad :)
