Holy crap. Now I know why you guys that started in Europe are doing so well. I just took a CRJ that I thought was doing well at 350K/day and moved it, and am doing a little over 1MM/day with it now. Yeesh!!

In all honesty, I am the owner of the "some dude" in the photo, despite all my ribbing, is not yet a member of FT. What is wrong with him? :confused::rolleyes::p |

I think the real reason he joined was I got miles for the mystery flight and he didn't :D:p |

Congratulations to BL JR! Next thing you know she'll be graduating high school. |

I think this is one of the key failings of the entire game.
And worse about the big jets is the maintenance fees that's charged every month. That, and not gate fees, is what that's finished off my AM1.0 world. I am all 762ERs and are supposed to be making money. Except they are NOT. |

Exactly! Which is why I'm doing all shorthauls with ATRs.

I'm getting scrappy over in the turbulence thread. Probably not worth the effort - but people saying "i cant think of a way so it must not be possible" annoys me to no end.
What's so wrong about trying to improve safety so people aren't hurt in the future? |

Let's go back to the "world is flat" analogy - you're saying we shouldn't investigate, we might off the end of the earth! not thread appropriate there, and only a few would get it.... |

Thank goodness for small favors - all my packages of "stuff" I feel I need before departing to Paris is in transit via overnight delivery services.
Isn't it funny how we come to rely on certain parts of our life no happening as advertised? I fully expected delays in the shipping/handling and to have to cancel some of the orders if they would not arrive in time and also ordered earlier then needed per the advertised shipping/handling times. So.. new quad band cell phone (in green!), international sim card, couple pairs of casual slacks, argyle socks (gotta be fashionable at the shoe carnival), etc.. shall be arriving tomorrow. Yay! http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/expr...8_460_1810_790 |

Nothing.
However, is is necessary to insult people when they disagree with you? It's usually not a very effective tactic. This seems like a lot of effort and posturing on your part to reclaim some alpha-male level of dominance in the situation. I assume you're used to being in control and don't like it when someone else takes charge of a situation. You threw the "I fly them" trump card out and expected it to go unchallenged and reacted vociferously when it was. But why go through the effort of cross-posting here in the Box and demanding some sort of reply from me? I'm blissfully rambling about argyle socks. If you want to discuss the merits of brightly colored socks as fashion statement in lieu of checkpoint shoes-off requirements, i'm all for that, but let's keep the other disagreement out of the box, okay? |

I fail to see where you were insulted. I've made comparisons that essentially made your argument look foolish but I never said anything about you - at least not as far as I recall.
