Wow, they sandblasted the "Delta" off of that Sky West jet pretty quickly.

Since I made everyone angry with that post, I will ask that the mods remove it and change my screen name to:

All right Boomer, you asked! Lol



New harlequin novel......

He grasped me firmly, but gently, just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room.

Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear.

"Just relax."

Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves, slowly but steadily.

My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.

When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes.

My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my rib-cage. Then, as he cupped my firm, full bosom in his hands, I inhaled sharply.

Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine to my midsection.

Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought, used to taking charge.

A man not used to taking 'No' for an answer.
A man who would tell me what he wanted.
A man who would look into my soul and say
. . . .



“Okay ma'am, you can board your flight now."

Yup, that program is already in place. Of course the jobs are in Trainer, PA and require a background in petroleum processing.

Soon as the lie-flat mods are done (Nov) they will be properly staffed. Add early outs and they will be short. Predict awards/reinstatements to both 744 seats.

Bond funds are the worst. If you have to have bonds, purchasing a basket of individual bonds is the best course of action. Just remember, the face value of the bond can go down and be less than what you paid for it. The interest payment will continue to be made. But, you just lost your principal.

Bonds funds exacerbate this problem. You lose the value of the bond and the interest payment continues downward at the same time.

While I understand that you are looking for something to do with your cash, you need understand that there is always risk, there is no guarantee of safety either.

Don't be lazy about it. Take the time to educate yourself about investments. Nobody loves your money more than you do. (Except maybe ALPA)

Went to a Fidelity seminar recently and they had their 'bond team' there. They said that most of their bond funds were into short and intermediate term bonds. They are in a position to move quickly, however they don't seem to mind the impending rise in inflation that invariably will be here soon. I don't think bond funds are the worst. They are not great, but, the alternative is putting your money under your mattress.

I agree, DYODD however I have been modestly happy with my bond funds as a part of a balanced portfolio.
