As I've said elsewhere, that's how I've reached nearly 8,000 posts, just being acerbic and contrarian and providing nothing of value.

  • What airplane seats and airplane food? I must have missed this.
  • $3MM is significant to a company that has come out of bankruptcy and is looking to show profits.
  • The CTOs outside the US cost far, far less to maintain, so I have to believe that the bulk of the $3MM is spent on the domestic CTOs.
  • Airline agents are probably the least reliable sources of hard, factual data.

You want to kill all those electrons? Are they less deserving of compassion than trees?
