On top of this, 100K fine for paying Cuba to overfly their airspace without a permit from the Dept. of Treasury. Tough times guys.

That I am not sure of.....I heard that 7 a/c rumor later in the day on Friday, well after I spoke with P.O. He told me the meeting was to last all weekend, but I suppose it is possible they came to a resolution by Friday afternoon.

Can you explain that? You mean Frontier is paying a fine to the Cubans?

I guess I stand corrected... Not up on the latest from the MiamiHerald.com

''During the beginning of 2007, Spirit Airlines realized that the permit required by [the Treasury agency] for authorizing flights over Cuba for the use of their airspace had not been renewed,''

The person that was to have renewed the permit was probably "down-sized" out to save money

At least Ben is doing his own vacuumming

If only he would come do the cockpit now and then

Which we didn't obtain. As for long term I've heard there's several senarios being considered. Relatively speaking I think it will be short term. At least till we start burning coal in our flying machines.
