FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Apparently my travel writing skills extend well beyond things I actually know anything about. I wrote an article about Memorial Day fishing getaways and it was actually accepted. :eek:

^Very cool!

763 and 734...great minds think alike. :)

No 752s flying TATL? :p

I didn't get there yet - I want to replace the AT7's with the 734 and then figure out what longhaul destinations I want to put the 763 on...my engine choice might let me make DXB from ATL.

Bought 2 763-ER's. I think hubbing FLL is going to be my downfall now. :D I'll go down Howard Hughes' style if it doesn't work out.

Buy yourself a longhaul hub...go to CDG or AMS.

I'm on a 752 to and from Hawai'i - at least it's "only" to/from LAX.

300% goodness I assume?

Oh yeah. I also took a traditional icurhere2 routing. Phone agent suggested the non-stops and I said "no, I really want the connections in DTW, LAX, and CVG".

I took the 15,000 RDM "loss" to upgrade in advance, since I'll still be FO when I step on the first plane.

I'd qualify that as a pretty good job that paid well. If you don't piss away your earnings.

My cousin worked in the bar there summers.

I may not be a good Airline Moguler. I am debating buying a 747 with my new found cash infusion and then flying it on one route around the world.:D:rolleyes:

I already made the ill-advised choice to buy one. Perhaps you can lease my 747?

How are you guys buying 763s and 752s? I don't even see them as an option.

Takes too long for those nice planes to arrive. I decided to order a Y7 (Chinese made An-24 clone) in the meantime. :p

I ordered more AT7's to feed my FLL hub.

Go into aircraft search. You'd think aircraft market, but that's not how they :rolleyes:

How can I see what everyone else is doing?
