You are now reset. I'll go in and calculate what a Potez 842 and Shorts 360-100, plus about 12 gates runs, then TARP you those funds to get you back to where you were.

Nice! I have been eyeing the Tu-134, but think I will stick with purchasing a few more Antonovs. I'm unimpressed with the HS-748 (consistently earns less than my An-24V).

The game officially ended Saturday morning. It was a good run, but at the end of the day, Team Canada took home the trophy.

The "Canadian Acquisition" was a success.

(She said :rolleyes:)

Congratulations on finding a caretaker. ^ :D

I am playing around with the props and have found a lot of it depends on the destination.

I too will add more to the ICA regional fleet but wanted to add one or two jets to free up props to the medium sized destinations.

Has anyone ever been called by CO to offer them a bump certificate over the phone a week before travel ?
I was disturbed over the weekend and my caipirinha was spilled in the process. I demand compenstation on top of the voucher they gave me :rolleyes:

True, but the 20 knot speed differential between the HS-748 and An-24 makes all the difference between being able to hit two large cities 1,000nm away, plus a mid-size city closer in, and only being able to hit one large and two mediums. There are quite a few decent-sized cities in Turkey and Egypt that I can hit with the Antonov that wouldn't be quite as economical with the HS-748.

I think you are entitled to a 24kt :rolleyes: Medallion.

I'm so glad one of our neighbors is so generous not to secure his Wi-Fi network. It comes in handy when our Internet at home goes :rolleyes:. This morning we're having an alarm system installed and right now the lines to my router and modem have to be unplugged, but thanks to the unsecured DRUE network that's coming from a unit nearby, I'm still online.

Congrats on conquering your Hemispheriphobia! I'm sorry the Oompa-Loompas didn't greet you upon arrival. I hear they are in South Africa preparing a song & dance routine with the Penguins for my Honeymoon.

Is this a published benefit?

I know it is on US for CP's. The one time I tried to use it they :rolleyes:'ed at me.

Thanks for all the congrats guys. ^

I think this one's a keeper. Her family wants to do a "destination wedding" and loved the idea I proposed, on the beach near my family. Much, much, much better than dealing with Canada and their metric weddings. :rolleyes:

Congratulations, belynch. At least you now have your own threshhold over which to carry her. :)

But do not denigrate dealing with Canada. What lover of Dunkin can really be that down on a country with a Tim Horton's on every block?

It is published for silver, gold and plat, IIRC it has to be at least 24 hours before the flug.
