Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

This is now the second time the Scrappy/Admin team has brought some item back less than directed and it is is completely unacceptable. It doesn't matter how good the rest is.

Yes it does. The rest was 100% acceptable, and the controversial part was removed. I don't understand your attempt to make this look like a problem. The pilots we elected to get us a good deal, got us a good deal.

I had wondered if a bridge order to keep Boeing's 767 line going might be the answer to a 4,000 mile 757 replacement. Sadly, according to one analyst, the answer is no and despite their significant limitations the A321NEO and 737-900 Max are the best the market has to offer right now.

Even with the latest and greatest 767 mods, it is about 20 percent more expensive all in than a narrow body jet.

I mean how can you beat " WILMER McLEAN HAD HAD ENOUGH. [EXPLOSION] TWO GREAT ARMIES WERE CONVERGING ON HIS FARM, AND WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST MAJOR BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR-- BULL RUN, OR MANASSAS, AS THE CONFEDERATES CALLED IT-- WOULD SOON RAGE ACROSS THE AGING VIRGINIAN'S FARM, A UNION SHELL GOING SO FAR AS TO EXPLODE IN THE SUMMER KITCHEN. NOW McLEAN MOVED HIS FAMILY AWAY FROM MANASSAS, FAR SOUTH AND WEST OF RICHMOND, OUT OF HARM'S WAY, HE PRAYED, TO A DUSTY LITTLE CROSSROADS CALLED APPOMATTOX COURTHOUSE. AND IT WAS THERE IN HIS LIVING ROOM, 3 1/2 YEARS LATER, THAT LEE SURRENDERED TO GRANT. AND WILMER McLEAN COULD RIGHTFULLY SAY, "THE WAR BEGAN IN MY FRONT YARD AND ENDED IN MY FRONT PARLOR." THE CIVIL WAR WAS FOUGHT IN 10,000 PLACES FROM VALVERDE, NEW MEXICO, AND TULLAHOMA, TENNESSEE, TO ST. ALBANS, VERMONT, AND FERNANDINA ON THE FLORIDA COAST. MORE THAN 3 MILLION AMERICANS FOUGHT IN IT, AND OVER 600,000 MEN, 2% OF THE POPULATION, DIED IN IT."

For me, the Civil War is hard to beat. But, here's my secret:

Save one to DVR then watch the other right after. Back up plan: If you are out of space, The World Wars is a three part series and they will show all of them tomorrow leading up to the last one.

I hate being such a nerd. :D
