I guess that's just another one of those things that can be negotiated. Like I said I've never leased-just assumed with all the ads I've seen they all say XXX Dollars at lease inception, that some money had to change hands |

The sky has that eerie "don't eff with me" coloring going on. Right after I typed that, a tree in my back yard got zapped. No more talking about the lightning; the Jersey Devil might come get me. :eek:

The trouble I am seeing now is leftover hours on the longhaul routes.

I just ordered another 734, and the three on order will likely flesh out my domestic plans for now. DXB will get more attention once I have the domestic structure in place to the point that it's making money to cover the crappy utilization that DXB gives me.
Morning, Box. As to the issue of leftover hours on international aircraft, I have taken a page from the CO playbook and started booking them on shorter regional runs between their international legs. This is why my route map looks a tad spastic. For example, I have a 757 fly from IAD to LGW, then setup an AMS - LGW route to use the same aircraft. Almost all my planes, including my bank of ATRs, have less than three hours available. Now if I can just get notabob to stop competing so fiercely with me. :D We have a very Southwest-esque fare war going on in a couple of markets. It is continually driving fares down while we both attempt to keep loads up. Morning, Box. |

I am fast becoming the Frank Lorenzo of AM. I'm neglecting my little airline lately. It takes much more time than I thought. Maybe I can get back into the saddle tonight and make the effort. :o

Customer. Why must you pollute our phone lines with your inferiority? Our system is perfectly designed to allow for a seamless business relationship, until you entered into the equation. :rolleyes: |

And I bought a new Glock, which also happens to be my first 9 mm. |
I am taking in money hand over fist on my domestic routes, such to the point I see no need to start flying internationally at this time. I'll probably go international when I run out of domestic routes to start.
