Unless someone wants to pay my cell phone bill. When that happens, I'll use it to call GOC. Until then ...
It's probably me, but I have no idea what you said here. It looks like you shot down all three options. So, which is your medium of choice?

You make a good point, and when I'm not on an MD-10 I'll consider it.
