2. People are surprised that the oil companies are having record profits. They've been screwing us for decades. We don't have to worry about foreign oil screwing us over, our own gas companies can do that just fine thank you.

Oil companies have record profits because they have very big revenues. Their profit margins are actually lower then companies like Apple. Yet nobody accuses Apple of screwing the consumer because they make more money on Ipods then Exxon does on a gallon of gas.

The retail price of oil is determined by the futures market. If you want to blame anyone for running up the price of oil it would be futures traders. However, they got all the money from the Fed, so I guess that makes it somewhat Ben's fault also.
 
Please, Wiggums, don't confuse people with the facts.....
 
"Bailey", who died and made YOU the worlds leading authority on oil prices? And, what self-respecting adult still calls himself by his last name? Shouldn't this have been dropped in 9th grade gym class? Get a life, tool.

Hmm not even 2 weeks since the post and oil is up over $7 a barrel since the posting. If you take the time to read up you will see that speculators have invaded the market trying to make a quick buck. With the current production levels and the historic closing of refineries for schedule MX this will lead only to higher oil prices but on the refinery side one of them is expanding to increase production and there is a new one being build in SE Asia for the first time in almost 30 years.
You ever stop for a second and think it might be my first name? If you are so big and bad why you hiding little boy? Give us your real name and show us just how bad you are. You know my name and where I work what about you?

Bailey,

At Netjets, the owner can't push ANY of the cost back to the company...Fuel is figured in hourly fee's and those vary from month to month (I believe). Explain how someone who own's an airplane can push a variable cost back to the company who operates an aircraft for them?

Thanks.

When a contract comes up for renegotiation I am sure the owner can have their team of Lawyers dispute the fuel surcharge and negotiate a higher cost per gallon back to NetJets. If NetJets ( or any frac for that matter) refuses then the owner can entertain the idea of switching fractionals.

Stephan, everybody knows who you are. You have made the no-fly list of virtually every Lear 60 captain at Flex. It is no secret that you are a major TOOL, and nobody wants to fly with your know-it-all self. Get a life, TOOL.

Why would a fractional agree to take on the risk of increasing fuel costs?
 
No interest in this post..

However... anytime I can post below Floyd and have two NC STATE flags flying....


Weew-Heeuh! GO PACK GO!
