Good morning box!

Today we take our new (to us) boat down the lake from Vermillion to Cleveland. I'm a green sailor so I hope my more experienced friends keep me from screwing up.

Here is the new (1985) Tartan 34.

Good morning BOX. Posting from the KLM Lounge in AMS. We decided not to go into the city since its raining here and our layover is only 6 hours. This lounge is NICE, why doesnt CO do something like this in its hubs?

Sorry to hear that it was raining there -- it's raining here, too. Have a safe flight!

I can assure you they won't be. The father of the bride had to be talked out of doing the DJing himself. :eek:

Morning, Box. I drank too much too early last night and ended up yawning my way thru most of the wedding. Hence the early posting on a Sinday morning, as apparently I got enough sleep. We got in just after 11:30 from a wedding venue 20 minutes down the road. :rolleyes:

Oh how I wish I was going to London this weekend! Instead, I have some rather :rolleyes: things I need to do this weekend.

Have a good time!

Thanks! Weather has been pretty decent. Some raining on and off but nothing too hard so it's been nice.

I would go with the EMB-120 for Box AM 2.0 because I like the idea of an all jet all the time fleet, and the additional frequencies a jet carries on short hauls that can generate more profit faster, but if everyone wants to roll with the ATR, then I'm game.

The EMB-120 is a turboprop

That's a sweet ride! I miss my sailing/racing days. You'll have a great time out on Erie with that. :)

But how am I supposed to know that HAN-SIN will drive more revenue than HAN-HKG, even though the latter has 10MM more people passing through daily. In the real world some marketing would be performed the investment of 300K to simply guess at what the returns are going to be.

I'm not using a different tool. I've played five or six worlds now and I think it comes with experience. Some of the Alliance routes I just started were very pleasnat surprises revenue-wise. I generally won't do a route unless it makes 100K/day. I have several routes out of DTW that don't meet that criteria, but I'd rather have a complete network.

He's right. The -120 was the last non-jet that Embraer made.

Still operated on a few routes in the USA, including SAN-LAX by UA express carriers. I was supposed to get it on my TPA-ONT run but missed out thanks to delays out of TPA and then IAD that had me late into SAN and misconnecting. :(

Hey CM -- maybe you should've taken over the DJ duties!! Maybe a future gig there?!

At least the festivities were close by & you could crawl into bed at a reasonable hour!

Great Lakes flies them out of DEN as well to a variety of smaller airports.
