Hey Denny. Looks like Boeing is the ultimate "12th" man. Eat this Peyton.

Boeing #12 ? FlightAware



Rumor has it the Broncos are renting an Airbus to draw a big X over this

I had a longish reply for this, but suffice to say that grant money plays a LARGE part as to how this goes down.

Clearly, there are guys at Boeing Flight Test with way too much time on their hands.

The effort by climate change proponents to shut down debate because it is anti-science has a similar feel to the efforts to shut down opposition to the Affordable Healthcare Act as being racist and the effort to shut down war opposition because it's not patriotic.

The economic evidence that raising the minumum wage in general increases income inequality and unemployment is indisputable. That said, I'm all in favor of giving NYC below the wing a raise. A big one in fact. Provided they hussle for it and actually G.A.S. as opposed to the slow crawl of indifference you see at every gate with every airline there. While ATL has gotten a little better, the same thing applies there as well.
A good military leader, or corporate one, will be able to motivate his people to gas without necessarily paying more money.... That falls more on local (branch officer type) duties. I'll betcha that if the most efficient/on time crew at JFK/LGA got box tickets to a couple of Yankees game, for example, you would see a lot of motivation. Yeah, Yankees tickets aren't cheap, but a box of 6 would cost a lot less than giving them all a payraise whose memory would fade as soon as it was spent..... There are many other ways too.

Oh, and I forgot this too. According to the Oneblood people here in Brevard county, Mexico trips do not put you off the list for donating. Roll up your sleeves my brothers and sisters It only hurts a little and the life you save may be your own or someone you love.

I'm fairly new at this, but I hit a gallon with my latest donation

Thanks. I was wondering about that. I just started giving a few months ago.
