At 100 pilots/month, things will get very ugly very quickly. Will be fun to watch.

Or once a week on a 380...
It doesn't work like that. You cant get 210 people out of/ in to Moline Il. once a day... but you can get 70 people out/in 3 times a day.

Patience, I'm still working on plan c. Somehow I know that post would rub you the wrong way. But yeah, I'm at home, sick. Is that what you are talking about?
