It's kind of like that F-18 Growler that shot down an F-22, but different...

Sad but true. The AS code share has severely wounded the LAX 73 category. I mean, its all anecdotal, but what we used to fly out here compared to what we fly now is like comparing Anna Kornikova to Rosie O'Donnell.

And, yes, I have a thing for Anna. She falls into the understanding from my wife that if I ever could, it would be ok.

I'm still trying to figure out how ATL 767 went so junior considering I thought it was going away, maybe not as soon as once planned but still. But its great, just surprised.

As to Anna Kour... you know who. All I can say is when I was at Auburn a buddy of mine dated a cheerleader, she was cute, hot and mesmorizing and I'll admit to looking like a fool when she walked up and introduced herself. But I'm fine with that, because I met her.

BUT, another buddy dated a tennis player... W-O-W. Its like cheerleaders in a tall version. I got caught staring. Again, fine with that too.

Oh if only I had been a Ferd, I could've walked right up to one of them while standing next to their man - and they were cool dudes - and said "Well, here I am. Now what are your other two wishes?"

Only a Ferd could do that.

Couldn't be that some guys are migrating north to be more senior could it? Nah. That would make me a speculator trying to come off as factual...kinda like you!

Trust you? OK. With evidence like that, how could I have ever questioned you.

I told my wife I was a farmer who grew those little carrots you get in your chinese food. I didn't want to ruin my chances.

In a down economy, with a load of debt, mergers and codeshares are great.

If the economy improves, could we expand LAX and take back some flying as I don't think codeshares and mergers with AS will be as good as DAL going back in there.
