Brazil is always astounding.
The USA made us all proud today. Too bad they had to come out for the second half.

I heard a rumor that Republic is purchasing World Airways and is going to start service to South Africa. Even with two IRO's the crew wages will come in just under $1000 for the trip...

God help us all if that happens. I'm in IAH and wish Continental would do that route but I doubt that would happen by next summer so I'm left with paying for a ticket on Delta or trying Emirates. Maybe I'll fly to Paris or Amsterdam and try taking South African Airways down to watch the World Cup. I love soccer and soccer fans, their no worst then SEC football fans!
