Heard a couple of NYC 7er guys going to bid down to NYC 73n. Same trips with better seniority now that they're doing so much domestic

Speaking of the ER, the latest white paper from the braintrust shows JFK-SVO going away soon. Will we still do it from ATL year round then or are we synnergising/laundering another market through a "code share partner"?

The ATL crews are no longer required to have a second passport nor the Russian visa. NYC will still have the visa.

If we give up SVO, that is us giving up on a good market, and good cargo.

The JFK-SVO route generally goes to the 765 in the summer months.

McSorley's. Oldest bar in NYC. Abe Lincoln drank there, apparently.

McSorley's Old Ale House

Edit: Or maybe not. I didn't see where you wanted near the hotel. I have no idea where y'all stay. I just love McSorley's. Even take the train from EWR to go there.

One of my favorite NYC spots. The guy who works the bar in the afternoons is a spitting image (looks & personality) of my dad. It's a ways from the layover hotel (30 minute walk) but relatively easily accessible via subway.

Buzz glad everything is ok! Chico is known as the beer Capitol of Ca while my College Humboldt State University is in the Emerald Triangle if you know what I mean.

Humboldt County baby! I definitely know what you mean. Yep, Chico is home of Sierra Nevada Brewery and my wife is a native and Chico State hottie alum. We get away to Mendocino a lot which is also very "eclectic."

Perspective from one of those chain emails:

* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:

* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts: $385

Here's another one:

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your
employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you
averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.
If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your
employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays
on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have
$892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and
it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65)
and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If youbought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income
of $2,976.40 per month.
Let's not forget that many folks die before receiving any payment, not to mention
that your SS payments are added to your ordinary income and taxed accordingly,
contrary to the Government pledge made when SS was introduced in 1936.
The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than
Bernie Madhoff ever had.

Nah. You'd have to know something about computers to become more like NWA. ;)
