That doesn't look too bad. Nicer inside than a Beech 1900D by far.

But it's missing something. Shouldn't there be some blood and bird guts and goo on the side of the plane and all over one of the props?

That's only after the traditional island greeting ceremony in RTB. :-:

I'll form the PB box team.

If previously purchased tickets (on AMEX) count my wife and I have 2 trips in the next 5 weeks on DL. Routing was LGA-ATL-IAH-ATL-LGA and EWR-DTW-IAH-MSP-EWR. If you want us as team members pm me for our DL #'s. Cant guarantee I'll have another tirp on DL before 5/15 though.

Got teh DC-10 with UA on ORD-IAD in 1994, and with NW on MSP-AMS a few years back.

I was supposed to fly it in 1999 on MCO-IAH on CO, but the weather all over the southern US was awful that day. The aircraft was doing IAH-LAX-IAH-MCO-IAH that day, and was running hours behind. We managed to get the last five seats on a 727 MCO-IAH flight that was running four hours late, but operating around the same time our DC-10 flight was scheduled. Had we waited on the DC-10, it would have been another five hours before it arrived at MCO. So, we took the earlier flight. I finally got to fly it on IAH-LAX on Labor Day weekend, September 2001. I was a Silver at the time, enjoyed a nice upgrade to the BF cabin (my first flight in a BF cabin) and had a great flight over to LAX on that old plane. It was really showing its age, but the ride was still great, and I remember pretty much everything about it. I had also tried to fly the DC-10 between IAH and SFO on a couple of work trips in June and July 2001, but never could get the schedule to work on that. So I'm very glad I flew it when I did, because after 9/11, part of CO's reaction was to get the remaining DC-10s out of the fleet by the first week of October. They were originally going to hang around into 2002 and maybe early 2003.

btw i like the ranking order now, it is newest to oldest :D

btw mike buy some gulfstreams ont eh CHEAP for short and thin routes. I bought entirely too many of them, decided to go big :) they are brand new, never touched.

How is it newest to oldest? I was the newest airline formed, and am now ranked number three.

That Gulfstream is pretty nice for that kind of route. I have one for my lone Antarctica flight.

Houston Box people, anyone want to do a Micro Do next Thursday? I'll be in town and so far have no plans.

After 09:15pm, is possible.

Grrr... can't get FLL-CLE-DCA to price out at $89+ :td:

Why does CO want to route connecting traffic through its congested EWR hub? Stupid!

Got it. I was thinking you meant by when the airline was started.

I've got a nice stash of Embraers being delivered this evening. Too bad I really should be focusing on work stuff tonight instead of AM.

Forgot to print PTY BP while at office-anyone in PC, that could guest me in?

Try getting in with your INternational first BP! It is CO kinda!

Also once you get into the PC at LAX have CMthe airline fax your BPs to the PC! Works great!!
