Timbo,

Not sure I think we may have about half of them operating? Looking forward to a long MCO layover so I can come by and help you drink some beer!

I just looked at the 717 Fleet page and it says we should have 57 out of 88 by the end of this month. Plus I think we are looking at picking up a few additional aircraft.

Can you explain how its leverage? Doesn't our contract (and I think every other industry contract) already cover introducing new aircraft? ie negotiate/arbitrate? OFG

Having dinner recently with a ATL B777A, the only thing that could improve LAX 777 flying would be to move it to JFK, another 3+ hours of credit. Someone 'round here on the Age 67 thread was naysaying 6-day months at B777A pay, there it is! 78 hours of B777 pay for 6 days---SWEET!

You should have been down here today, 80 degrees and blowing about 10-15 out of the west, great day sailing on the lake, and I've got plenty of Torpedo's for you.

A buddy of mine stopped in yesterday in his Sea Rey amphib, on his way home from a week in the Keys. He was all sunburned and so was his lovely girlfriend! Someday when I disown all my kids, I'm getting one of those (the airplane, not the girlfriend!)

I know they have lots of sheep . Also world class fly fishing.
Just got back from there, Milford, Dusky and Doubtful sounds, Arakoa, Duneiden and Tauranga...all on the South Island. Wellington on the North Island. It will start getting fairly cool in May. You won't want to come back.

I'll be >right< down.

Sounds about what it was like here in Michigan today: 8 degrees, blowing about 10-15 out of the west, great day for freezing your *** out on the frozen lake!
