Just wanted to add to the 717 rumor. Neighbor near me is a 4th floor bubba. Slipping an extra shot or two in a cocktail can yield some interesting information. When the 717's were brought up we started talking about buying another airline with 717's. Then there was talk about 3 or 4 potential airlines that had things we wanted. Seems these folks are interested in airlines with pics of people on the tail.
ps. anyone know how to post a pic off of picasa to this site? I did this months ago and can't seem to get it to work now. Used to be I'd click on the little pic with the sun and mountain and insert the 'embed' link from picasa. Now that doesn't seem to work.
