Nebraska is embarking on a journey into the Big 10 Conference this year after leaving the Big 12 because the U of Texas got the majority of the proceeds from that conference.

This year the Huskers play Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin...it'll be a fun year of college football.
I was at that game down in Miami, it was awesome.

KCM starting a new test phase for pilots in several cities. Should only be another 10 years before we're fully up and running.

TCU is now a force to be reckoned with! We have a friend who went there and he wears purple almost every day.

My favorite game was Boise State vs. Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl...that was exciting. Then one of the Boise players proposed to his girlfriend on national TV after the stunning win.

The fine print would be striking a balance between decent layover, and min rest, so that the lines aren't looking like SWA, but still manages to have some rest.


I think it is called "Calender Day." Every calender day you get 5:15. USAir has that.

Ran over about 100 little bunnies taxing the C-141 in Spain one night. Did a slow speed reject, taxied back around and saw all the carnage. It was awesome.

Oil is plummeting right now...$84 per barrel & dropping on bad economic news. Good for airlines, though...this'll generate some big profits if it sticks around.

I hope DAL sold their future positions like they were thinking of doing, because if they did not we will see a loss of paying more for the hedges. At its current level (oil) we are about break even on what we did hedge, if it goes down further, the hedge position will put us in to the red.

SWA stock down 7% while most other airline stocks breaking even. I don't think Gary Kelly encouraged his investors much yesterday.
