You had already received plenty of congratulations on your other big news - the new job. If we piled on more congratulations on the 1000 post mark then some might have become jealous about the additional posts you'd get for responding and thanking those congratulating you and the cosmos might have fallen completely out of whack. Or something like that.

Shamless post:
somtimes I love my job. going to lunch at the Palm- then the rest of the day off! me very very happy :cool: |
Kinda busy today, but just wanted to catch-up with with the box with a few things.
Just got this press request. I'm sure someone in the box can help this reporter out: ************************** _________________________ 1) Please see the following. My deadline is by the end of the day Friday. Holli Estridge Staff Writer The Eagle ADDRESS REMOVED Summary: Regional Airline Carriers Name: Holli L. Estridge Title: Reporter Media Outlet/Publication: Print/The Eagle Email address: REMOVED Anonymous: No. Specific geographic location? Yes Region: Central Texas; preferably Bryan-College Station (Editor emphasizes hyper-local. Texas is okay in a pinch.) Query: Does anyone know of a way to look up stats on airport traffic, flight volumes, ticket price increases (due to spikes in fuel costs) on short-haul flights, the size of various carriers' operations across the country? I'm trying to find if there's an association or if any stats are collected by the FAA or any other regulatory agency. I'm due to talk to a major airline company tomorrow about their operations at our small airport tomorrow, but I haven't had much experience writing about the airline industry... So I'm not sure what's public and what isn't and would like to have a back-up plan in case I get the run around. I also would like to speak to an economist or other regional expert who is up to speed on the industry and could offer some insight into customer trends with regard to short-haul flights and whether further cutbacks may be in the works. My deadline is at the end of day tomorrow (Friday, around 6 p.m.). Feel free to call me at REMOVED. Please do not respond unless you have a source either within the region (Central Texas) or the state (if so, Austin and Houston are preferred). For the t-shirt discussion: I'll give someone $20 to wear this the next time transiting EWR. And I got bit by the karma bug from my post yesterday. Off to FRA, SAV, and ABQ in the span of 6 days in June. Do you spell jet lag with or without a hyphen? :rolleyes: |

Half-day Fridays are great. Winston and I are heading to the Boat Basin for drinks this afternoon...anyone else?
Even better than half-day Fridays are no-work Fridays. I'm still sitting on my couch having done nothing all day... |
