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.

 

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.

 

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."

 

Thanks New. Its been a difficult couple of days but I think we're on the other side of the trouble.

 

Jim Schwarz is an ass.

 

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.

 

ooooooh a throwdown.. I think Satan will out coach Lucky Les this time.

 

That's just pathetic. Becoming more and more like NWA everyday... Pretty soon... AMS/CDG/FRA and LHR will be all we do to Europe..

 

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