It will show more - but can only show 3 at a time. On the right, about halfway down click on the "1 2 3" next to "More Plan Options" to see the additional plans. I could look at 7 because I'm Out of Area for the HRA plans.

Air France to fly nonstop between Twin Cities and Paris - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

Awesome. Makes sense to me, because we hardly have any presence in MSP. It's not like its a hub or anything....don't feel threatened.

DAL currently flies that route with the A332, believe it's B763 in the winter. So who wants to bet they still fly it with AF on the route? :rolleyes:

Actually, they did worse than nothing by going along with the idea that fatigue was the root cause of the crash...

You do realize ALPA is a business, right? A business that is in business to make a profit. If they were not profitable, they would simply raise revenues.

Calipari and Petrino? Sure.. why not. That would solidify their place as the most classless school in SEC history.

Bigger pays more... that's the way you want it, right? My predictions are coming true too.

I think we already had the discussion that the pax version of the 777 holds more cargo than the pax version of the 747, although the 747 holds any more people.

Wanna put a cold beer on it? Pax are our bidness. Ain't gonna be no cargo planes... JMHO

Some three summers ago the red ATL phone rang in Cincinnati, and Comair's president was told to immediately remove "Comair" from any and all Passenger Announcements.

I believe the memo to pilots actually contained the term "Forbidden"

I hope this doesn't get me banned...

I'd buy you one anyway, but I'm not on the 7ER. :rolleyes:

Let's just buy some big iron!
