Surprisingly, BlueNile has the most reasonable pricing on the style of wedding band I want. Looks like we might get some OP miles out of the deal! ^

Her ring will be purchased locally to match the engagement ring...

Starting cash can (eventually) be overcome with time. Number of hubs cannot.

New dots and lines coming up. Looks like I'll be doing HOU-DFW-GGG-DFW-IAH in late June. HOU-DFW and DFW-GGG will be new, and I get an MD-83 on the way back. It has been a while since I was on one of those.

Do yo have a real reason to fly AA and hit GGG? Or just want the line?

Yes. GGG is the closest airport to SHV that doesn't cost $400 to fly into.

GGG is a cool airport code.

When does 2.0 begin? And, will you be joining us in the Third World? Your fleet of Ilyushins awaits...

Which one is the third world? I think I'm going to have enough tokens here in another day or two so that I can join both 2.0 and thirdworld.

Has anyone ever stayed at the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center?

Private World No. 620 (password: vandalay). No Airbus or Boeing (including McDonnell Douglas) aircraft are permitted, nor are conventional mega-hubs (LHR, CDG, JFK, LAX, HKG, etc) permitted. So far, people are hubbing at: CCS, HAV, ABI, THR, BUD, HAN, JNB, et. al.

It is a glorious proletarian uprising against fuel-efficiency and Bourgeois Airline Mogul Tactics.

Some of the RCC's even make me want to swear.

I am surprised to not be running in the red from ABI's grass fields of 1981 :) much less serving 26 destinations non stop with a varied fleet of junkers with very high cycles.

I will be enjoying Significant Otter Car Service, so won't have to worry about renting. :D

Those maintenance cost (365K for me) basically makes continuous expansion in AM 1.0 not worth it.

All AM worlds eventually get to the point where expansion does not create profit. My total monthly profit is still about $40MM higher than my expenses, so I still have room until I reach that neutral point.

I didn't bother to check Blue Nile for mine. It's hard to price-match stainless steel anyway...not even a precious-metal haggling point or anything.

Indeed, comrade. I'm hoping I have the tokens to give a nice boost to the hubs and the cash. The only absolutes right now are 3xATR-42, a Full World, and a length around 10-12 years. I will post the final details after I draft everything tomorrow.
