I have no excuse, as I *do* drink on occasion, but I'm a Maker's or Woodford Reserve guy if drinking bourbon. I'm now on a mission to find some Jeremiah Weed and try it out. ;)

That Cal thread was sad.

It certainly was. I've never seen an industry where people are so quick to tear down the accomplishments of others. I'd like to think this is just a message board thing where the medium attracts TOTD types.

Make sure you don't have anything important to do the next day.

Here's a dot...


Virgin Atlantic has imposed a pay freeze for the financial year that began on 1 March...in the year to 29 February 2012, the carrier lost £80.2 million ($119 million)...

...it points to its transatlantic joint venture with Delta Air Lines - which in December acquired a 49% stake in Virgin (for $360 million) - and its Little Red domestic operation, which will begin flights on 31 March, as key drivers for revenue growth...

...additionally a planned transition to twin-engined aircraft types "will result in considerable financial savings" it says, as it retires its Airbus A340-600s and Boeing 747-400s in the 2010-2015 timeframe.

A buddy of mine just flew with a LCA who told him the 321's are not gonna happen. Good third hand rumor.[/QUOTE]


We most be the most gullible group of people in the world. Every time the Company says "Hey, we are looking at airplanes." We believe them.

Until it's on the ramp with our livery, I don't want to hear about it.

Funny how new plane rumors usually coincide with negative news actually happening.

:D

Don't worry, its a horrible whiskey that fighter jocks drink. They make the pilot training kids that start T-38 training drink it. I've had some and its only digestible when frozen. It was just something else the heavy guys made fun of the fighter jocks for doing. If you ever fly with a fighter guy just start saying the word head and box and point at things with your finger. Then tell him/her that crud is the best game on the planet. HA HA HA!!!
