Sounds like the "good old days" were traveling to Columbia with the secret service. Anybody have $100 bucks they can spare for those guys/

I know we don't have a TA, but why do we need to bail out a bad idea by allowing larger bad ideas?

I mean if a fleet of over 360 outsourced CRJ-200s on long term contracts to near bankrupt regionals is all of a sudden a bad idea, why is replacing the CRJ-200s with outsourced CRJ-900s to the same airlines a better idea?

How long til those become a bad idea and we have to move the scope line to compensate for all of these bad ides? Sure we could say "oh but that won't happen!!"

Okay, but when the first "bad idea" showed up in the early 1990s I doubt this was on anyone's radar as a swap solution to the unprofitable "bad idea":

Did he ride the Pinnacle stock into the ground or did he get out of that too?
