From the rumors I hear, the company wants to get rid of the 1900s because they're reaching their cycle limits, the 1900s are getting old. The civil aviation departments of other countries allow airplanes with higher cycle limits, so the 1900s that are trying to be sold will go to South America and Africa.

The Gym sucks. A couple of treadmills and a weight rack, but the pool and hot tub are decent.

I've learned real quick not to put my hopes on rumors. I'll believe 'em when I see 'em.

Some of the flights here in FLL aren't even full most of the time. A few times have had 1 or 2 people aboard but most flights are at least half full. Hope the Saabs can be filled up.
