what about LAX?

generally speaking? are you ready to escape yet ?

no still have couple more weeks to go. i will miss the LAX oneworld lounge this time though...JFK kind of sucks...i am debating whether i should wait for the SAN details to book my Dec trip...I have a feeling they might delay the launch to Jan or something....or not launch that route till end of Dec

you can book now and always cancel later (if the 787 doesn't get launched as planned) they usually have waivers

no they don't let you book SAN-NRT cuz it's not in the system yet

If I book now it will be on LAX flight not SAN

you'll get to fly the 787 sometime in the near future

But I am guessing they will have 2x miles on SAN-NRT for the first two months

oh didn't think about that...that is a big difference...

for 70% fares, it's about 7700 miles for r/t and I want to be on the inaugural too...but that might mean Y on that flight and if i can't take that flight, i might not be able to upgrade on LAX flight cuz it's too late

Thanks for all the JAL sirotan talk I am getting this ad

New record op profit for last FY. 200 billion JPY

How about after capital expense? (with all those 737 767 787 they are getting .....)

u meant net profit?

Op. Profit basically means EBITDA, which is nothing to be honest for airline when they have huge capital expense on all those planes (ok ... may be lease but ya)

that's why i asked did u mean net profit on the financial statement

it doesnt matter cuz you always have to include the present value of the planes.... the value of the plane doesnt write off on day1 unless they did sth funky (and blowing up a big hole doesnt cut it)

Howdy everybody. Hope all are well.

hello rock how've you been??!?

u've lost tones of fat

I didn't really lose it. I just put it in checked baggage and DL lost it for me.

Hmmm... I may need to try that one. No. Never mind. I'd have to fly on DL.

Anyway, good to see you around.

Currently on a CR9, ORD-MSP, we're going to a nephew's wedding there. MP worked out a three month deal with Gogo, free access to MP on all Gogo equipped flights (Gogo is only domestic US since it's a land based system). It's nice...

Things have been real busy lately, current project all have tight deadlines. A couple MP'ers, Bobsgt and his wife are visiting us, he's building a wonderful extension to my chicken coop so we can add more chicks. A log cabin coop and a 2.5 x 3 meter very secure fenced in run where they can play and eat bugs in complete safety. We have raccoons, fox, possums, hawks and coyote in our neighborhood, and I don't want them to have any chance of getting at my chickens. It's going to be nicer than my home when he's done.

Sounds great! Do you live in city limits? (In other words, is it illegal to shoot the predators?) Just curious...

Also, congrats on being busy.

whkento how was golden week
