Eventually, they will. But as long as the Texas tea flows, it won't happen.

Now, I know Bill Gates is theoretically the richest man in the world with 74 billion. But, but, but...there's that sheik in Abu Dhabi that bailed out Dubai and bankrolled emirates new aircraft order. I'm pretty sure our resident geek from Seattle doesn't have that kind of jack.

Yeah most despotic, family run governments have a way of spreading it out among family members so that it doesn't look like they have as much of the country's wealth as they really do. No telling what the house of saud is worth.

Any word on compliance and such on the TATL JV? I just saw that ORD LHR on our metal this fall has been pulled before it started.
