I call Razorback1, ugasucks, and two other that don't want to be "outed?" Friends.
I meet FERD by chance the one and only time I flew into PHX a couple yrs ago.
Pretty sure I just exchanged pleasantries with Bucking Bar while searching for electrical schematics on the M88 in the B concourse satellite lounge.
I feel like I know Buzz, Carl, FTB and T, but could only pick one out of a line up!
APC is a good little community of nit wits, brains, and jokesters....keep it up lady and gents.
Can't wait to meet you Sinca...and I agree, APC L&D is like crack. I'm not an addict but I do like a late walk down Virginia Ave every now and then.

I fly with a couple guys who lurk here. Both GREAT dudes. I know at least three other posters here in my category, also sterling guys.

I keep looking for the rest of you. I've met ACL, still looking to run into FTB, newK, Timbo, T, et al. (And I know who Carl is.....) Wink, wink.

We should have a central meeting place, like the bar at the training hotel in ATL, or the sports bar in NRT for the guys who frequent there.

When you walk in, to identify yourself to other APC'rs, you shoot the Shocker over your head, then take a quick look around...see who's shooting you the Shock and Awe.

The 88 does that same ####.

Oh, I forgot to mention the one drawback of the 777; it has trouble maintaining altitude when it runs out of fuel...

Martin Savidge told me so!
A rumor I heard was that you don't really know what to do when you're in a boat that doesn't have a sail...

Stock buy backs should increase the stock price. We are planning a second one soon. If you buy back 5% of the outstanding shares the stock price should rise 5% all other things being equal.

And for a measley $1.5 billion, we could buy back 5% of the outstanding shares. Trainer and fuel hedges are giving us a nice advantage on the competition right now. Our debt is trending down, and the others are trending up. I like our chances.
