Dude, you get a day, I get a week of it. They do jury duty very differently in ga. You sit until you get picked and then if not selected you go back to wait to go,through the process again.

I have done it four times. The last three were in Texas.

If you ever want to get out of being stuck in case, during juror selection, look over at the prosecutor and give them a thumbs up while winking.

Make sure the defense sees this and you'll be pulled from the jury before you know it.

Worked for me.

Second, he claims that there is no subsidy in the Ex-Im bank. Then he claims if we end the Ex-Im then carriers will all go to Airbus because they have subsidies. Which is it, are there subsidies or not?

This was probably written by a Boeing PR guy and handed off to Forbes along with a large advertisement buy.

You got through it?

yes it was all over the place. Grabbing at straws.

A quick search gets me a 22" FOR $149. MINUS 20% = $119 (NO TAX OR SHIPPING)
Travelpro Crew 8 - Luggage Online

Take an extra 20% off at Luggage Online

or

Travelpro Crew 8 22" Expandable Rollaboard - eBags.com

or 24"-->$110 - 20% = $90

Travelpro Luggage - WalkAbout Lite 3 24in. Expandable Rollaboard Suiter 4060924 - Luggage Online

If you want to try something different look at the eBags Mother Lode TLS 21 inch. It has a very long handle and is very lightweight. It holds a lot more than it looks like on the web and I packed for a 7 day vacation all in one carry on suitcase, it has an expando zipper to make it bigger when you need it. If you are interested take a look at the eBags packing cubes, they fit perfectly in the suitcase and make it easy to pack.

Never mind

Hope we have a profit on Wednesday. Flight Operations management's preliminary opinions on our numbers might be prior to those numbers after our accountants ensure we are only paying tax on what we have to pay tax on.

Jesse..got to do the trial you wanted, seven weeks latter...on my way
