ts and Carl,

Have you two forgotten that you made up a long time ago because you had a "common enemy?" Come on boys. Stop fighting each other and join forces again! Election season is right around the corner.

But overall, I think it is a good summary of what we are facing, the perspective we need to have, and how we need to proceed. Looking forward to hearing back from my reps.

Gentlemen,

I've been flying through Atlanta a lot lately and it drains every bit of energy out of me. I think walking on water would be easier than getting an on time departure when flying a DC-9 through there.

I didn't think I was fighting with Herr Greenskeepersan. I was just pointing out that he seems to slam LM a lot, and I don't think it's necessary.

My friend New,

I think I can speak for the other APC dorks, it is understood that you can walk on water. Good seeing you the other day.

NERD,

My good friend, as one of the few people on here who has known me for a long time, you know I CAN'T walk on water. Good seeing you, too.


Off to be humbled by the ATL (again).....

So when they get struck by lighting, do they just disappear back in time? Makes sense, I mean look at this old picture from 1968! A DC-9 NO LESS!
Yep. It turns out the all aluminum structure is perfect for time travel. Anything with composites in the airframe disrupts the flow of chroniton particles.

Why do you think they called the successor the MD-88? 88 MPH? Coincidence??

Thanks for reminding me newK.

It's easy to forget because tsquare is a grouchy old senior captain. And I have nothing in common with those kind of guys.

I took it for granted, when Knew compared walking on water and getting an on-time departure in ATL, that it was not a hypothetical.

That being said, inasmuch as I feel the ATL is a despicable, soul-crushing place, I cannot but marvel at their ability to pump airplanes through. It's one of the easiest places to get an on-time departure in the continental US.
