Glad to see you two finish where you started. Lots of whining and mewling wrapped in self delusion. Did you contribute a single logical thought in eight pages? Let us know how that conspiracy theory works out for you. |

Okay guys, is this discussion going to continue to spiral downhill or do you want to discuss the impact of the price of oil on the industry? At the very least, please keep it civil. Thanks!

Damn it Dog Breath, that Avatar of yours gets me every time.

I sat in the back of an RJ and was very impressed with the crew's decelerated approach contrasting a later 30 mile flaps extended downwind on a subsequent flight by another RJer...the former crew gave me some hope for our oil situation...

When oil companies are raking in $40 BILLION in profits for a quarter, something is definitely wrong with the picture. At CAL, every $1 increase is another $44 MILLION off the bottom line, or over $176 MILLION off the bottom line just today!!! I hope the oil companies/speculators, and Saudi's are happy with what they're doing to everyone. I just wish our government would grow some balls (even tiny ones would help) and say enough is enough and start going after the speculators who look for every little nuance to push the price ever higher. But, since we're beholden to the middle-east and special interest groups, that will never happen and the consumer will be blamed for using too much. My guess is that "recession" will be a mild word for what's going to really be the end result. The average american can't afford to fill up their gas tank much more if this keeps up. I guess those poor people getting an "economy stimulus rebate check" are salivating while waiting for a few more dollars to fill their tank. Meanwhile, the oil people are laughing their way to the bank.................:( Flame away..............:rolleyes:
1. US Govt makes more on taxes off oil than the oil companies. 2, Last new oil refinery was built in 1976. Laws, special interests have prevented any since then (like nuclear power plants) 3. US Govt does not control the world market. Talk to the Chinese and Indian govts. Their economies appetite for oil is growing exponentially, the US demand has remained relatively stable for the last 20 years. Now we are competing even more heavily for same commodity. Price goes up. |
