Ask, and ye shall receive.
RDU is extremely hi-tech - known as the "research triangle." Notable employers:
American Airlines, BASF, Bayer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, The Body Shop, Burt's Bees, Cisco Systems, Credit Suisse Group, Duke University, Durham Public Schools, DuPont, Eaton, Fidelity Investments, Environmental Protection Agency, General Electric, GlaxoSmithKline, IBM, LabCorp, Lenovo, Netapp, North Carolina State Government (including the University of North Carolina system), Pfizer (Pfizer Poultry Health), Progress Energy, Qualcomm, Quintiles, Red Hat, Research Triangle Institute, SAS Institute, Sony Ericsson, Syngenta, Teleflex Medical, Toyota, United States Forest Service, Verizon, Wake County Public School System

I have to assume it's a good market from the west coast - maybe a west coast all night Bubba (hey Buzz) could confirm.

Let's debate new! Or we can wait until you get bumped down to the 73 in LA and we can chat on the red eye to RDU.
No no no, you from Cali, you should bring them this.

I'm suprised there aren't more red eyes. No slot or gate issues, no traffic, direct routing and its all bonus utilization and productivity, which makes block hour costs over all cheaper. Some airlines like JB used predominately red eyes for a long time to dramatically expand their route footprint with existing airframes. Every long haul international flight is a red eye.

People will build their own 2 airline 20 minute connection itinerary to save a dollar. They will and do fly red eyes and IMO from a marketing perspective we do way too few of them.

For Bar there will be this.


The topic of meeting and sharing some cold ones is the best one this thread has had in months. ��

You have to watch 100 hours of Fox News, and not just Megyn Kelly stuff, just the regular stuff.

And listen to Rush Limbaugh for 3 months.

Then you can come to the beer summit that I am evidently having in my basement.

You're going to need a bigger basement!

I like your posts, Buzz, and would agree with you regarding the PAC, but this thing has gone well beyond that discussion. I just don't care to get involved in a contest to see which party is better or worse.

I think both parties suck Spud! I changed my affiliation prior to 2012. I think we're off the rails and both party's are responsible. I'll support the PAC when I see some results.
