I didn't check myself, but was told it was loaded into travel net to be flown by the 777. My understanding is that it will be initially a Detroit trip.

The DL south 2001 plug went to NetJets for a bit when he was on furlough. I'm not sure if "hate" is a gentle enough term for his feelings for that experience.

Sorry about your Seahawks, Denny! I wasn't really rooting for any one team, but I was pulling for them more than the Pats.

And what was with those foo-foo social commentary commercials??

When I flew corporate we were to Netjets what DCI is to us. We were chartered to handle their overflow when all of the shareholders came asking for planes during peak months (Nov, Dec, FEB!!!!).

I thought they sent all their hard passengers our way. Turns out talking to a Netjets guy not so, they have plenty of hard ones to go around. None of whom were ever owners of a share, they just had rights to use that share. When they bring their families it gets... frustrating. But for $40-$60K in revenue for some day trips, I shut my mouth.

The best story I heard was of a Gulfstream where these kids had gone to the cabin area where there was a side facing couch and two chairs opposite of it with a pull out table. The kids pulled out the table and were using it as a diving board into the couch. Table broke.

$75,000 to fix and I don't doubt that number.

This is what is a bit confusing to me. Why do you guys hate coaches like Carol, Sabin, and Myer? My last FO told me it was because they ruined the programs they coached for: Florida, USC, and Sabin, by moving around too much, LSU.

But, to me, that a BS excuse. None of those programs would have won National Championships without those coaches.

Me thinks there are other reasons why you guys hate these teams and coaches and you should be honest with yourselves why that is.

I'm pretty honest with myself. I hate the Packers because they beat the crap out of the Bears-- every game, every year. I admit it.

Maybe you guys hate Alabama, Ohio State, South Carolina (I forgot. A lot of people hate Steve Spurier.), & the Seahawks because they perpetually beat the crap out of your teams, too?

Or, do you have real legitimate reasons why you hate these guys? If so, I'm all ears.

So, why exactly were you happy to see the Seahawks lose, "especially in the manner in which they did," Buzz?

I don't 'hate' anyone, it's a frigg'n game, but the Seahawks were very lucky to be in the Super Bowl in the first place. The Packers out played them in their game two weeks ago, but then they went to sleep in the 4th quarter, and the Seahawks got lucky with that on-side kick.

The 'sudden death' over time rule sucks. Each team should get the ball.

BUT... Karma's a beeoch. They lost the Super Bowl by being on the other end of that kind of a lucky play, with that goal line pick.

What nit wit sent in that play?

The Packers lost that game more than the Seahawks won it. But, even before that game, and the NCAA Championship, I saw where a lot of people hated the coaches I mentioned above....

That was a great game. It went right down to the wire. The Seahawks will be forever second guessed for calling that play. All I can say is what a disappointment.

I just saw a quick clip of Pete Carol saying they saw the Pats had their goal line D in there,

"...so we decided to throw it, we were going to run it on 3rd and 4th down."

Whoops!

That was an amazing catch that guy made to get them down to the goal line though!

Where the heck did all these silly computer/app games get so much money to have that many ads at the Super Bowl?

As I read the articles today on the AA agreement, they did a great job of highlighting the need for a minimum day.

No one needs to be at work and not get paid.

Hats off to our leaders for the increase in ADG. Now let's get that minimum day.
