forgot to bid

Sometimes if someone is going to let you move up a number, you get out of the way.

But you're not one of those Timbo.

No, I forgot to stop by Starbucks or Caribou. No potable water, no coffee.

The Flight Attendents gave him one drink then stopped. The drunk paid $50 to the guy next to him to buy drinks and give them to him. He became a problem on the last half of the flight. Taken away in handcuffs for public intoxication, but may be charged with harassment and assault as well.

No, we were fine. With performance corrections no problems with great weather and long runways. More of an irritant -- especially the lack of potable water.

Elvis90

Yeah, and that was the same for me for the KC-135, T-37 and B-1 that I flew in the Air Force. I've had good luck during the past few weeks with respect to MEL's, but last night we had quite a few.

One year, and I'm aware of that, but if I'm going to rant, I might as well make it good. We stayed one hour in the terminal after all the passengers were off to write down statements and have the police take our contact information...the FBI will investigate this as an inflight disturbance caused by a large, loud-mouthed drunk guy that irritated everyone.

How about this:
"This is FTB at Spackler Airlines. Hello everyone on today's investor call. We're serious about capacity discipline and have been able to delivery a unit revenue premium over the past few years to the industry.

We have posted better operating and financial results than anticipated in 2012, We are committed to sustainable and growing profitability for our investors and given our better than expected operating and financial results in 2012, we believe that if we can continue to execute our business plan, and barring an economic downturn or other unanticipated even, we could begin to grow our mainline fleet by 70 airframes over the next five years."



FTB investor call 2013: "Although the economy didn't have a downturn, it didn't have an upturn either and due to multiple unanticipated events, we foresee only a need for 30 more jets at mainline, and that is only a definite maybe. We may not be able to grow at all if we are to sustain our necessary unit revenue premiums."



SEC: "You said you'd grow by 70 airframes in this report back in 2012, now you say 30, you filed a false report, you're all going to jail."

?

Couldn't that mean they filed false reports to the SEC when they said they'd only have 49 used MD-90s, not 65?

What?
No Coffee? That's a No.Go item for me!

No rant here, I just remember that being one of the convoluted problems with that aircraft.

Elvis90

No, I meant I was ranting, and I wanted to make my rant good! That reminds me, I haven't had my coffee yet -- I better get some.
