So I take the rumors are getting stronger or am I missing something?

For the 777? all smoke, no fire thus far. we all assume it's coming sooner rather than later, but no customer, no tail numbers as of yet. (not official ones, anyway, lots of imaginary customers)

Hope you didn't pay more than 50% of the 'starting' price anywhere!

Not more than 50%, but even then, you still get the distinct feeling you got screwed. oh well. At least not I have a jacket for those ANC winters. She assured me it was wind and water proof and of the best quality.

Did you get the "Best friend price"? LOL And yes, one of the gals that worked at the hotel I went to at my last company dressed me down when I couldn't talk them down to below 30%. Hehe

Make sure you keep the prices in perspective and remember what they are in dollars. Sometimes we are haggling over much less than a buck.

Just like the old times in Osan while flying the C-141. We'd argue for a half an hour over 75 cents on a pair of tennis shoes which we were already saving $50 dollars on. Just the game that was to be played.

.....back to the thread at hand... I'm in MIA for the annual "you bet your job" simulator. If anyone is at the barbeque tomorrow afternoon I'd be happy to swap stories and answer questions when ground school lets out.
