The wife, kiddos and I were to nonrev to BOS for the weekend and come back monday.

Glad we decided not to go. Flights were wide open BOS-ATL on Monday and now half cancelled and the rest oversold. Whew.

He blew out the other knee last year, worked his bu** off in rehab, only to have this happen. He is a class act.

Kudos to TN who came over and gathered with the USC team as he was tended to. Let's not forget Willis MacGhee from Miami who had a similar injury in the 2002 Feista Bowl, who is now in the pros.

Gamecock nation is behind you Marcus!

RA likes the 787 in theory but doesn't want the headaches of the inevitable "bugs" of a new aircraft. After it has been around a while and others have lived through the new jet glitches (and possibly after its been stretched at least once), you will see it in DL colors.

Or maybe RA's problem isn't the 787, it's Boeing?

Maybe he can't trust a "ship without a rudder" to handle the inherent adversity of a relatively radical new plane?

Or, since you were questioned about a post you made in public, you could have the decency to respond in public... (apologies if this has been covered already. I'm a full weekend behind.)

Yep, same here. My "highly doubt" was out of line.

No, he likes Boeing just fine...and he likes the French monstrosities as well.

Hope you guys in the Northeast don't get too crazy while you're stuck inside.

The wind is starting to pick up in Queens and I'm the lone crashpadder here for the foreseeable future. If we lose power expect someone that looks like Tom Hanks in Cast Away to come crawling out of this place.

I hope Wilson doesn't get washed away!


I just found out what Jesse is doing with his time now that he's no longer on APC:
