Slap....you are the most optomistic person I have ever seen. I hope youre right about half your predictions. Perhaps you havent been here long enough to get kicked in the nuts enough. Massive growth after a contract, which may or may not get solved in this century, is quite optomistic. Who knows if LA will remain a base, let alone grow to a DFW!?!?!? And I've never heard of replacements for the ATR or keeping the 700's or getting 705/900's. Boy, I need a pair of your rose colored glasses. Heres to hoping.
