Good morning Box. I was expecting today to be warm and sunny. It's chilly and it looks like it's going to rain.

Wish it would stop raining... I forgot the umbrella (thought it was in the car) and my cup of coffee. :mad:

Ahh well, Morning Box!

It's actually flooding up in Georgetown. I'm just hoping the lake levels will start rising soon.

And as I say that, LCRA has announced that Lake Travis expects an increase of 11 feet of water over the next 24 hours. Good times.

Listening to the B6 quarterly conf call. They had a pretty solid Q3 - $15MM profit. Not bad at all.

Another 707 went down, this time in Sudan. :(

That is good news. I was elated yesterday when I took a look at their route map and determined that I can get to CLT from here with a plane change at JFK.

I saw a report early this week about Alligiant haveing big profits based solely on leisure traffic.

I wonder if it was a vertical stabilizer/rudder piece coming off.

Looks like DL was profitable excluding special items (and those weren't fuel hedges). That's pleasantly surprising for the industry.

Hopefully the industry doesn't hold off on the crazy 4Q/1Q sale fares to Europe/Asia, though. :D

It is a red letter day. I got a job, I'm going to earn elite qualification nights this weekend, and HTE just went up 32%.
