I don't want the conference to turn into the PAC 10 where you need an airliner to go to an away game. Tailgating starts to suck then.

Oh yeah, I once went ORF-EWR on an ATR 42 and listened the whole way to the pilots talk about the donkey show or whatever guys used to go to on LRD overnights.
If I'd known then that I could've spent the rest of the flight in the cargo bay I would've.
Speaking of that, that was the best part about the ATR... what is the max capacity of an ATR 72 going PWM or BTV to EWR? I think the thing held 70+3 so that was at least 70 passengers +3 crew +1 JS + 5 more JS's.
This from the same group who wouldn't order fuel in EWR at $0.30 a gallon and instead would fly to ACK and top the tanks for like $4 or $5 a gallon or something along those lines. $$$$$$$ I wonder how long it took til the bill arrived for a months worth of that?
The one thing I can say for sure, I never saw the FAA do a ramp check in EWR, just IAH.
Yeah I'd enjoyed that club, I don't know why I said EMB-120 when asked. I really don't. IAH EMB-120? Ignorant.
