Yes. I'm pretty darn sure it wasn't good. I remember trying to do spin training with a new CFI. I was sitting in the left seat, demonstrated a spin to the left, then he did it, and then he tried to the right but it wasn't happening. He couldn't get my side of the aircraft to go up and over. We were within tolerances, it just wouldn't do it - until you entered into it at full throttle.

Remember I bid down to reserve... on the 88... in ATL. The only time I do that kind of head work is during IROPS and the original dog who owned that ball is no where to be found and they can't find one of those more than willing dogs to go for it. Then it's my turn.

Dot # 1:
The new 747-8 Intercontinental, sporting a new red, white, and orange livery, is roughly 18 feet longer than its predecessor, the 747-400, and its wingspan stretches more than 224 feet. It’s scheduled to make its first flight in March, according to The Wall Street Journal.
It is Boeing’s largest-ever passenger jet, carrying about 467 passengers, fewer than the usual 525 on the Airbus A380.
Dot # 2:
In its industry consensus forecast IATA projected there will be 3.3 billion air travelers by 2014 — 800 million more than in 2009. China will be the biggest contributor of new travelers. Some 45% of all new airline passengers will travel on Asia-Pacific routes, mostly associated with China, the report said. International freight volumes are expected to grow at a rate of 8.2% during the forecast period to 38 million tons from 26 million in 2009.
Right off DeltaNet. Hope management can see the way to reading there own stuff and connect the dots. Look out for the China JV agreements.

Works even better with the more popular cargo version of the 748. There is no money in cargo... if we do it. Seems fine if everyone else does it for us? There's a boat load of cash to be made in counter-to-counter though unless it's someones skis that were going SLC-ATL and instead went to China and back on a 777. No lie.

Here is the dot connecting... Korean Air (already ordered it), KLM, Air France and China Southern all order 748s and fly them to LAX and JFK. If not them then China Airlines and Saudi Arabian airlines joining Skyteam in 2012 and possibly Jet Airways or Malaysian Airlines if they join. You then as a fellow skyteam member feed those jets, promise to never infringe and get your cut without ever having to buy one.

You know that show on the food network diners, drive-in's and dives? Well, here is the list of where they've been by state (see bottom right of the webpage):

Dry or wet, its all good. Besides, the best BBQ in the world (with the possible exception of Bryant's in KC) is North Carolina pulled pork in vinegar and pepper. By way of full disclosure, I'm a Chapel Hill native raised by my grand parents at Bullock's....
