July 22, 2009 Occidental Petroleum Announces Significant California Oil and Gas Discovery "We believe this to be the largest new oil and gas discovery made in California in more than 35 years," said Dr. Ray R. Irani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. "It is probable that there are additional reserves outside the defined area, and it is possible that structures of this type exist elsewhere in Oxy's 1.1 million net acre position in California. We plan to drill wells to exploit these opportunities over the next 5 to 10 years," Dr. Irani said. Cheers George FYI: New wells going in at record pace, especially since MS crude started trading at a premium above WTI... |

Controller Found Innocent in Brazilian Midair By: Richard Pedicini May 24, 2011 In an unexpected verdict announced late last week, Brazilian federal judge Murilo Mendes found air traffic controller Jomarcelo Fernandes dos Santos not guilty in the midair collision between the Embraer Legacy 600 and Gol Airlines Boeing 737-800 over the Amazon in September 2006. Fernandes dos Santos was responsible for controlling the two aircraft at the time of the accident, but Mendes found him innocent because he was “not qualified…to even come near a console. The judge then called for a criminal investigation of those who approved Fernandes dos Santos. Mendes also said air traffic control software flaws played a role, changing aircraft altitudes on the console without the controller’s consent. Mendes said the flaws were previously known, so he also called for a criminal investigation into those who had found that ATC software placed aviation at risk but had failed to order corrections. A second controller Tibúrcio de Alencar, was found guilty of “endangering aviation” for failing to program the proper frequencies on his console, which prevented him from hearing 12 radio transmissions from the business jet in the minutes before the collision, which killed all 154 on board the Gol airliner. |

Heyas,
Most "green" energy is nothing but a scam to soak Uncle Sucker. It neither has the energy density or the reliability to be any realistic alternative. If you look at the total life cycle costs, energy output and peak generation capacity there's nothing out there to replace what we already have...nukes and natural gas. Windmills, ethanol, gas from poop...it's all fluff. It's remarkable how we've allowed ourselves to be crippled by this sideshow crap. Did you know that we no long have access to ANY plutonium for our planetary science probes? We no longer operate any reactors that make the stuff, and the last little bit we used we had to buy from the Russians. And they're not selling anymore. 4th and 5th Generation fisson plants along with re-processing of the fuel would eliminate practically all of the waste concerns. Natural gas for the mobile market. The prize at the end of this game is fusion. It IS doable, but it's going to take a lot of really smart people to make it happen. Nu Uncle Sam needs to get out of the energy game --> and the airline business too! |

Guys, since life is a little slow here today you should mosey over to the SWA/AT Hard Landings thread. It makes for some pretty entertaining reading and makes me appreciate that (most) all of that merger stuff is behind us! Although, I don't think there was ever as much flaming going on here as they have now.

Has anybody figured out why management wants to pay RAH to operate FFD DCI RJ flights competing directly against Frontier? Perhaps they want to take the passengers from Frontier? :confused:

I have more than a handful of friends at Southwest that are so "drunk on Kool Aid" lately, with the merger/integration of seniority lists, it's difficult even having a conversation with them. Obviously some want the FL guys stapled, most just want credit given to them for their "SUPER PREMIUM" contract. (Threw that in there for all ya'll fDAL kids.) No worries though, TSquare is actively involved with putting them in their place. Go get em T. (Think I heard one of the WN guys insult the VOLS.) :D Fly safe, GJ |
