Uncle Ferd fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to
pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated, he burned for three days.

You have to remember that a lot of what gets posted from a certain crew is nothing more than "unofficial" crowd control.

Yup all 18 of them. How many 70/76 seaters are out there?
Oh yeah, UCAL will have 74 777s and 26 747's and they are pretty serious about holding the line on RJs. That's alot of brass bands to meet the planes.
