Quote from: Ken Bambach
You actually did have me Don, up until the point of Bob "candy coating" things.  That made as much sense as the boys in the band ordering boat drinks - everything seems to be wrong ( to quote Jimmy Buffet ).      

The Mike B. part did make sense though


Darn right it did! Kidding  

Glad to know I was the first one on his mind when I got a weird email this morning asking if I was up at 1am last night... LOL!

General Discussion / Oh no...
« on: November 14, 2011, 08:59:40 PM »
Quote from: Tim Farrell
Great idea Ryan. I would think this to be a great way to approach a resolution to the matter, otherwise writing our Congressman may be the next step. Maybe Vatsim could get the FAA to let Vatsim use the charts with the agreement the charts would be visible only to Vatsim members.

Third step - Fire up the copy machine  

Government Failures -

Postal Service (broke)
Amtrak (broke)
Medicare (broke)
Social Security (broke  - backed by Treasury bills, no cash)
Healthcare (on the verge of chaos)
Fannie Mae (bailed out with stimulus money and still asking for more)
Freddie Mac (bailed out with stimulus money and still asking for more)

...and now it appears the FAA may not be far behind.  



This is America. After all of these breakdowns and shut downs, there is no more "free" is "dom". "The Home of Brave" is now "Home of The Dependence".

No more free country. This country is unfortunately going sour... day by day.

Say good-bye to "Freedom" and "Brave" if you want to survive here anymore..

I hope some lawmaker can come to the rescue... :/

Virtual Airlines / Airtran Virtual!
« on: July 23, 2011, 01:28:54 PM »
There was one AirTran Virtual, but they had to change the name to "Citrus" as in their callsign because of copyright and other reasons. Don't know what happened to it, but good luck!
