Flight Dept. CLOSED/CLOSING/SHRINKING?

[NGT]

Just making a list of Flight Departments that have Closed(Ford,GM,etc..), Closing(Wachovia,etc..) or what your department is doing to reduce staff/planes/cost? Things are happening so fast it's hard to keep up!

Thanks

P.S. Looking for actions mostly since the Sept 08 time frame!

NGT,
King of the Golden Tee. What is going on? I know you know what went down with us last Tuesday, I 'm still in shock. Has the down turn affected you guys yet?

Just trying to help employ your ex-employees. It helps to know who's gone! We took a little hit but we cut back 1.5 year ago! Give me a call.

Is Sears closing or is it shrinking?

The colts getting rid of their G-2 & the Bell? Wow I did not think that the Ursay family would ever give up their aircraft.

 

[wacoflyr]

siucav, good to see your new avatar. Really good.

Waco, this is one of my all time favorites, but I have gotten a lot of complaints telling me that the quality has slipped, I disagree.

 

[Brett Hull]

When did Wrigley shut the doors?

 

[jimmyw]

Was that the Indy colts football team owners relinquishing their plane ?

 

[Cat3C]

When did Wrigley shut the doors?

My understanding is that the department was on the bubble since they were sold. I have also heard that the owners may keep an airplane. Seems to be all over the place on this one.

Some of the other on the list have had problems or other situations goig on for some time now.

Starbucks is to close more stores, sell a newly delivered $45m corporate jet and cut headquarters staff and worker benefits as it battles a slump in sales that has tracked the broader collapse in global discretionary spending.

How can the quality be slipping when your avatar pics are almost all of the same girl?

 

[siucavflight]

Not one girl has been the same.

 

[sqwkvfr]

Not one girl has been the same.

What is this, a poor attempt at a jedi mind trick?

You've used several pictures of Crystal from Sports by Brooks.

This one,
this one,
this one,
this one,
this one,
and
This one.

Yes, more than one has been the same girl.

 

[siucavflight]

Wow, I did not realize it, how did you remember all of those pics? I love that site!

 

[siucavflight]

Upon looking again squak, I have only used two of those pics that you posted, but I did enjoy looking at them anyways.

I disagree.

But that's not important.

What is important is that I have to find a way to get over my Crystal obsession.

I'm not having much luck.

 

[siucavflight]

She is very beautiful, but the girl that I have now is not Crystal, and she seems worthy of your attention.

 

[wacoflyr]

Actually, isn't that Crystal in Manhattan Beach, second from the last on his list? She is certainly worthy of our attention, and she is certainly Crystal. My favorite of yours was from several years ago, Some beautiful chick standing near a waterfall in a red bikini, smiling. Wish I knew where to find that shot.
