Funny, you've never ever given any indication of where you live.

So why would someone wish a, highly unlikely, MD on a wide body Captain? Just because I disagree with someone doesn't mean I wish them to lose their current gig. But hey, I'm just a line pilot.

I'm all for gate timeliness. The only latency I see are the dudes with the doo rags ambling ever so slowly to either push us out or bring us in.

Is it that or is it so beastly that it supports all the other fleets?

Nah, it's just the cornerstone upon which the rest if the fleet rests upon. Surprised to see the 717 top row, right. I guess Lumberg works in IT now.

Hey guys, out of curiosity which of these two polar opposite assessments of the Trainer facility do you feel is more correct?

The Math can work...

The refinery next to the oilfied behind my house is railing in Bakken crude rather than buying from their neighbor Chevron. They claim transportation cost is in the single digits for the railed in crude.
I bet it makes a difference if the cars then can be filled with distillates and sent back...

The biggest question-mark re: Trainer is the Ruggles departure...

Cheers

OK good info. I guess the numbers won't lie over the next year. I'm pulling for it but it's hard to tell what's going on with weekly write ups that don't jibe with each other. What did happen with Ruggles splitting in under a year? Anybody know the truth? It's a novel idea....hopefully it works out as planned (ie better than buying Comair and ASA).
