Make more money with the asset elsewhere... GEO/LOS/... etc are the biggest money makers.. but you knew that.

 

You said it brother......times ten.

 

Here is a solution to the problem:

A) Burn the city of Atlanta to the ground again. Its a pathetic mess run in the ground by freeloaders not in the population but in office, just like most large cities in the country. I mean how else do you draw a county that looks like this? Easily, the rich neighborhoods are to the north.



B) Publish the administrator salaries at the airport, I'd think if you be a safe bet we'll find the salaries are out of whack. I've heard that the international firm that worked on the 10/28 project said that even though they've built runways in Africa and around the world- they've never seen the corruption they saw in ATL. Everybody had a hand in that pot. Shame when Lagos has nothing on your city's government.

C) WSB are idiots. Some how parking $3/hr = the rich get richer. ?!? I'd like to be a reporter, find people with tramp stamps and ask them loaded questions and then be gleeful over their phenomenal answers.

D) MEM will never close. It's value comes from being Delta's baseball bat.

E) I landed a corporate jet in the ATL back I want to say late 07 or early 08, $1,000 parking fee at Million Air or Mercury or whoever runs the small shack on the northside of the airport.

 

I don't understand this. Last week I got a 88 in ATL w/ FMS on MCO, and it really didn't work, could not get it off the menu page. So off we go old school VOR to VOR. 3 legs ATL ORD ATL LGA, and OMG we only had one flight plan... It sat in the center of the windscreen, and just as always, we took turns looking at it and shared it. The a/c didn't and crash .

BTW ... with all those charts out why would anyone want any more crap in the cockpit?

 

Okay here is a silver lining deal with the ATL airport cronies and friends. DALPA should take it upon themselves to present a solution that'd plug that $40M budget gap and make the airport manager rich.

Inverse landing fees. The smaller the aircraft, the larger the fee per lb. Do it such that anything less than 90,000lbs is sky high unless it is a turboprop.

 

Oh, FtB, that is an idea. I see you had your Morning Joe! Thinking straight at an early hour!

 

How does GEO make money? I'm just asking. There is nothing there and those poor people don't have a pot to pee in. But darned if those flights aren't always full.

 

I beleive that we are adding segments to SA for the World Cup. Something like 15-20 is what the peeps on here are quoted as saying.

 

All to Jo Berg though, aren't they? South Africa is a big country and the games are spread all over. Too bad we can't reopen Cape Town for the summer.

 

So are we pulling out of JNB?
