An scientist, a boy scout and economist are trapped on a desert island with a tin can of food that is sealed and cannot be opened by hand. Such can is their only sustenance.

The scientist says, lets see if we can excite the gases under the can and force an explosion to blow the top off.

The boy scout says we need to create some sort of lever using the trees to attempt to rip the can's top off.

The economist says, "Lets assume we have a can opener.";) <roll snare drum>

ALCO's dinner recommendation has closed. :(

Time to come up with a plan B.

All of US's 330's except those that go to TLV are 330-300's, IIRC.

I know almost nothing about US' route network (by choice).

They bought three A332's solely for the route. They have 22 more on order. I would assume that those are intended to show those old 767's the door. I really want to get PHL-CLT or the reverse on a 762 before that chance disappears.

Yo steph3n, calling you out...

AMTW. No Airbus/Boeing. And you have, ahem, 5 B767-200ER in use and 7 on order?

<tap, tap, tap>

Oh yeah, and everyone else who has abandoned the game... :p

Jeez I forgot all about it, but want to start up a more current version of the game for anyone who is interested.

I learned that all too well. Still had a blast!

The slEasyJet flight from SXF-BUD was only 40 mins. :-:

I was going to say, there has to be some quality LCCs that serve PRG or BTS.

My fiancee, while BBMing, just used an airport code in casual conversation. She's coming along slowly. :D

Economist and a bond trader are walking down the street, when the trader sees a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk. At the same instant, a homeless guy sees it too; they both lunge for it, the trader knees the homeless guy, picks up the twenty, and rejoins the economist.

The latter says "I can't believe that you did that."

"Why?" says the trader, "the stronger always wins."

"I don't mean your competitive behavior; I approve of that," says the economist, "I mean bothering at all; it can't be real, or someone would have already picked it up."

I'd be interested. "Is Possible" to transfer credits to make a more substantial game?

At one point they ruled the roost in ALB. I had fun one summer taking US Express down to ISP every other weekend. Cheaper, and much quicker than driving.
