Uhhh....Puttin' cans of stuff in 'em and then flying 'em to places like OAK.

We currently fly OAK-NRT and KIX-OAK but those are usually MD-11s. Maybe an equipment sub? They seem to show up in new places now and then and surprise us too.

OK, I thought maybe it was to get the ground folks familiar with it possibly. Was just wondering how the 777 flying has been affected by the downturn.

Interesting that a few weeks ago Fred and some other heavies took some huge bonuses...Interesting in light of "poor" numbers.

Predictions:

Stock will drop to low 80s
Lots of buying takes place
Cost cutting Express reorg measures implemented
Stock goes back up....

Oh yeah, 4a2b comes back...
