I would really like to see a system wide analysis of reserve usage for this past summer. I don't think the ALV+15 was much of a factor - no where near the impact of the 30 day month, which I think was Huge! Scoop |
Bar, if you're going to talk cars...
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...eneral_lee.jpg My in-laws neighbors bought one of the originals. It's actually a compound pharmacist near me. I have no idea how much or the specs, I think though it was around $100K or $150K and its autographed by the cast or something. Anyways, it evidently has a very very loud engine and when it comes rumbling through Elijay people come running. I guess you could have a fancy sports car worth twice as much but it'd never turn heads like that thing does. Especially in Gawga. The owner told me once that the problem with the car is people have no concept of what "don't touch" means. Fingerprints, palmprints, try to sit on it, I'm sure they try to get in it etc. But I saw that once doing a "show" with the Embraer Legacy. I was standing outside talking to customers and went inside to see folks sitting on a $35K table top, one woman had reclined the seat back and was sitting on the top of the seat, wine was every where, etc. The magazine people who were putting on the event thought that was fine, relax, don't worry. I was so mad, if I recall, I think we kicked everyone out and locked the airplane up to the frustration of the hosts. Just because you have money doesn't mean you're not straight up trash. It was also not uncommon to have corporate pilots just walk on the plane to check it out without asking. The best was the police department who did it with muddy shoes on an nearly white carpet. People suck. /bizarre tangent |

I just bid off the 88 to the 73. Sounds like I need to come to LAX. What do you think Scoop? No ALV +15 issues and guys/gals getting some time off out west? I know its got to be better than ATL88

I think he means the bumper cover doesn't match. It looks like a paint mismatch replacement, for a used car this would indicate accident damage.
If that isn't what he meant, I'm clueless. There is no way you can ever put a fancy car back together right. The interior and the paint and everything would be impossible to replicate imho. Does it have a dent? Yes? Trash it. :D |
Bidding Golden Days
Thanks for all the input for being on reserve.
One last question, how do you bid for Golden days. I called scheduling and he said it is under PCS, but I do not see anything for Golden days. I also checked on PBS, no joy. What am I missing. Thanks |

Depends on how much the twig and berries blow around in the fall breezes. Taxi checks could be perilous.
Meanwhile, talking about airplanes with more seat travel ... Boeing is finally admitting the 737-900 isn't quite 757 replacement. Airbus is like "we told you so, watch our sales." |
A little off topic, but... Can one of you guys get me my medical back? All this family time is driving me insane! After 15 years of being gone 4 days a week, full time at home is too much work!
Thanks in advance, R1 |
