yes, let's all be responsible now for investigating which flights may be "chronic cancellers" and then contact our personal lawyers who can then explain to us what exactly "chronic" means. Give me a break, what a dumb thing to say.

Great post Razor.
So can I have my tin foil hat removed?
FWIW, just this week Executive Jet Management received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to use the Jeppesen Mobile TC App for iPad as an alternative to paper aeronautical charts. EJM has I believe a 100+ aircraft fleet and is like our Delta AirElite but whereas Delta AirElite places privately owned aircraft and their crews on their charter certificate to support Flex Jet's fractional 'overbooking' or other supplemental needs EJM does it for Netjets.

So let me go out on a limb and say no profit sharing in 2011.
Gaddafi's Next Move: Sabotage Libya's Oil and Sow Chaos? - TIME
and
Crude is bought and traded on margins. When, not if, interest rates are raised, the price of crude will drop significantly. I suspect we will see 100 dollar per bbl oil though summer and when the Fed Raises interest rates in the second half of the year, oil will trend downward. My guess is 60-72 per bbl. If I were a smart man I would not be hedging right now.

UCAL also does not want the slot swap. With the limits on DCA looking like they will be changed, they do not want the competition on their IAD hub. Or so they say

Hey it is what my investors are all telling me. Rates need to go up and the government wants to raise them. When they do margin buying becomes more expensive. Ergo, prices correct downward. Of course a event in the Middle East can always erase that effect.

I have not missed a commute yet. Yet being the key word. I'm on reserve so there are times when I have to non-rev up because all of the jumpseats are taken. I have missed my first flight due to loads being full. When this happens it is very nerve racking waiting to see if I'll get on the second flight. I've always been successful so far. If I call in and get positive space it seems to count as my one try even if the flight got every paying passenger on. This policy is better than what we had, but I'm afraid to use it. I had no problems using the Northwest policy as it was no questions asked.
