There's also the bus idea, though. Looks like I can do either Peter Pan or Bolt Bus for a total of about $60 (including the $20 r/t to get to Penn Station) which would make it about a 5.5 hour trip, but I could sleep/work...hmmmm.

Any opinions on the NYC/Boston bus options? I've taken a grand total of ONE in my life, and it was back in 2002...

In other news, I listened to Airborne Toxic Event last night on my drive home, after we talked about them in the box the other day. I have to say, giving the album a third pass, I now really like (most of) it.

Did you ever propose to the significant dergon? (sorry if I missed that post. I think I only remember hearing you had acquired the hardware.)

Is it just me or does their song Gasoline sound a lot like this song?

This would have been a great time for one of those "weekend getaway" 15K miles+$36 deals...unfortunately, this weekend I can go from EWR to all sorts of far-flung places like YYZ, DAY, GSP, etc. - but not a simple 201 miles up the road. :rolleyes:

And honestly, at this point, the travel time would probably be quite close to equal... drive to Princeton Junction/train to EWR/waiting at the airport/1.5 hr flight/subway from BOS to Cambridge=easily 4 hours, and it's about a 4.5 hour drive if you avoid bad rush hour times. NOT worth the $191, in my book.

Nice play. Catch is, I'm getting to the point where my network is almost intriplicate...I don't want to go thru the effort of closing and rebuilding a hub just for fun, and I don't want to fly pointless routes that just add lines to the map. I'm getting to the point where I'm running everything I can without buying more widebodies, and I don't want to buy more...they take too long, the ROI stinks, and it's not like I'll be playing AM the entire time while I'm in AMS.

Is it wrong of me to think that I should fly to SJC one a one-night turn solely to drop off a resume? Waste of money or great way to impress?

I'd say go for it. You get miles and it will impress folks.

I would offer to drop it off for you, but I may not be there for a few weeks.

There's an unfortunate lack of long-haul Soviet and Chinese aircraft to choose from. Shanghai Y-10 can squeeze out a decent amount of range, as can the Il-62MK (lousy economics), but there's nothing there with TPAC range. Il-86 can handle a lot of Pax, but doesn't fly very far (roughly the same range as a Tu-154B).

For short-range, the Yak-42D is the best earner in my fleet. Just started up another one this morning.

Meh. I've been on both. It depends on the exhaust flow and wind direction. :rolleyes:
