Black smoke would indicate our democratic system is working. That's how it should be.

British Banks were told to do that last year. Yet, trading Euro debt has been profitable for Wall Street and those children just don't learn.

Greece is in an odd spot. It is having a currency collapse, but not its own currency. As money flees the Country it is actually feeding the Euro as money functionally flows from Greece to Germany (and to a lesser extent other currencies). The Euro has to Federalize (in which case I would agree with you) or just cut the laggards loose and risk the political instability in the civilization which invented Democracy and the Forum.

Delta was surprised last year. Turns out the rich and the bankers buy as many airline tickets as they ever did. Maybe even more.

Portugal, Ireland and Spain are where the real pin action is at.

White smoke could be water or oil being burned.

Black smoke is usually the engine running too rich and all the gas isn't being burned.

Oil leak into the radiator and coolant leaks into engine may be related. If a flaw happens between the oil and water chambers then oil will be forced into the water system when the engine is running and the oil pressure is high.

FTB,

Ethanol (the kind in adult beverages) molecule has a polar end and a nonpolar end. So if we add ethanol we probably can get oil and water to mix and burn cleanly.

The Pope is from Alaska. I think he can see Russia from his back deck, so international relations should be good. Too many Greeks are going to Hawaii and its driving down yields.

"yeah, either that, or something else."

With a bunch of CRJ900's we will not need to acquire a 100 to 120 seat jet at mainline, or anything of the sort.

I don't know if you heard Bar. The company has looked at the various 100 seaters including the EMB and they're just no good. No place for them at mainline. On the other hand at the "regionals"......

The reason that there are no leaks is probably that the TA comes with fairly significant corporate transactions...the kinds of transactions that carry hefty SEC and/or legal consequences (IE REAL legal trouble) for someone who spills the beans.

If it was just a few percent in pay plus some work rule changes, it would have been leaked that night.
