We asked him last night if he knew of any way we could lower our costs (already saved over $7K since late April in contract fuel and over $4k by shopping insurance) and he said "Best thing we can do is get the new airplane." Is there any better answer to hear as a pilot??
Next time you turn left base for 17L at SDF, wave...you're over my house.
