That's TODAY. After winning a few SEC (The BEST football conference in the country after the AFC) they will draw all the 4 and 5 star recruits out of Texas and Louisiana. Manziel is just at the tip of the spear.

The -9 and -10 will be good.
Meanwhile with the exception of ULH missions the -8 weighs roughly 40,000#s more than the 767-300ER with roughly the same floorspace.
That's a lot of engine efficiencies used to carry the extra structure on most missions...

Are we back at the Sheraton?
I thought the Hotel was the Doubletree 5 points area. Did we go back?
We were at the Sheraton for a 30+ hour layover with the band "Widespread Panic." When the A line asked who these strange dudes were on our airplane, I told her "Widespread Panic." She then got on the PA and welcomed aboard "White Spread Panties."
Captain asked, did you tell her to say that? No, I think she misunderstood me.
They had a weekend concert series at the Jefferson Center across the street from the Sheraton. Guests of the hotel were smoking crack in the halls and making meth on the property. By the end of the weekend a few were running naked through the halls. One young twenty something hottie looked great Friday night. We saw her Saturday and she had used the restroom all over herself and was nearly comatose. People were beating on the door at 2am looking for "dude." Our uniforms stunk like we had been through a fire. (Pot is at least fragrant, burned aluminum foil just stinks)
I wrote it up. The response from the Hotel management sealed the deal ... I think there were 55 arrests on and around the Hotel property (not sure of the exact number) and they refused to call the cops on things going on inside the rooms.
The next flight out we had a regional guy on the jumpseat. He said his Company moved them to the Doubletree at 5 Points and I think we followed. Our Flight Attendants gave up early and all of them went to a friend's house and slept on the floor in the living room. (If we had known what we were in for, we would have joined them)
The Jefferson Center prides itself on hosting "interesting" acts. IMHO, they host stuff that is too interesting for a flight crew to be near.

I was content with where we were. Quick access to a lot of varieties of food, great hotel rooms, safe. It's about all you need on a domestic overnight.
Sometimes I think our RJ overnights were better. Sure we didn't have downtown NYC/BOS/SFO, but hey, I don't get that anyways on the 88.
