You only actually pay for time in the air, not block time like a commercial airline. The westbound flight should be 4:45ish, depending on winds. And the return should be 4-4:15. I can save you $10K on that trip! :p

Thanks for making my $50K valid! Bullseye!

So that 10k can be used for flight attendants

I will be sure to tell my co worker Jay Z to stick to Gulfstream

Even then, a G5 isn't bling enough anymore. You've gotta rock with a BBJ.:p

Might as well call Google and ask about their 767

There are a few royal families that have private A345's.

Why not email them?

In other news, I thought they rocked the ex-Seahawks 752?

I think that's just the CRJ seats in general, although the ex-Independence Air planes are a lot better. The ex-Comair ones with the really dark seats are bad, bad, bad.

I believe I read somewhere that an A380 will be privately owned by someone in the Middle East.

If I use the G Phone to call them it might be easier than gmail :D

I am so ready to be done with work today.

Ugh - what a crazy day. I am just now getting around to eating lunch and it's 4pm.

The good news of my day:
1. I was able to check in online today! ^
2. I finally managed to score a Friday evening PHL-IAH upgrade! ^^

That's in addition to the 767 (and several other aircraft). They recently purchased a fighter as well - forget what kind though...

Did they use Pepsi Points?

Or did they use a coupon that was given to them by that nice chicken standing outside?
