while the specs of the HS748 would seem to point otherwise, I am getting the same thing :( the AN-24V is rocking the routes!

I have a totally non similar fleet now, I'd hate to actually have to pay mechanics on my fleet.

Really I have to say this Stallion has been a profit driver now at times when I start a new route and need a gap filled. I had it churning right at 100k a day yesterday!

The Canadair CL-215 (Flying Boat!) is surprisingly profitable. It comes in No. 3 in my fleet, behind the Antonovs and HS-748s. 93K EUR isn't bad for a 32-seater. It flies slowly, though, so is best used for close-in routes.

Just sent off an email to request two DMZ Tour tickets. :D

Please stay away from any tunnel entrances or any freshly turned dirt for that matter!

My honey and I will be in NYC on either Wednesday or Thursday, and I am taking her to Famous Chicken for gyros and getting Penn Station pizza for dinner.

I'm still sick.. :(

Can someone please just come and smother me with a pillow or something? It's getting really old to be snuffling and whoozy 24-7.

good thing you asked for a pillow on the CO board, the only airline still offering them(unless some others have brought them back).

you'd have to be smothered with luggage on other airlines :D

True that. And seriously, F-my-life!

I just got the mail. the second grad school came through - they actually pulled off a full out of state tuition waiver and a really nice financial offer to work as a TA/Grad assistant.

Oh god. Now i have to make real decisions. Ugh!

Oh your big spender. ;) Then again I do like the pizza at Penn Station.


Speaking of food does anyone know of any place in midtown Manhattan that has kebabs? (UK döner kebab style, not shish kebab)

You'll have to use a BF pillow. The Y pillows are pretty porous.

BF pillows have an added bonus of being wrapped in plastic. ;)
