CitationAir Recalls Started!

Okay, that link stung a bit, I'll admit it.

It is a touch out of context, but still nice work. Touche'.

Cheers Glass.

It's great to wake up (sitting in the Middle East trying to make a buck) and see this.

To all the Citation crews who got called back I am absolutely thrilled for you guys/gals.

Wishing for a speedy recall for the rest.

Hey, where are you at Grease? I was in Bagram and am now in Speicher. Lets go have a beer and celebrate....err, oh wait, they don't do that here.

"I don't mean to be negative, so please hold back your flames. This is just a realistic look at the situation. There is unsold inventory sitting on the ramp in Whichita which cannot be written down while unsold, therefore it is better to put them into service (whether the need exists or not) and they can then be used as a legitimate business writedown and if the business picks up, well that's even better. A win-win situation from a certain lose-lose situation if they continue to sit there unsold/unused. Definitely a financial decision which also has some good PR value".


True, there are many airplanes on the ramp in ICT. However, the current recalls are due to 2 aircraft that were purchased for CA to operate. CA is getting a X and another XL by the end of the year.

I think the idea is that the cost of putting those airplanes into service unsold exceeds the value of the writedown. Therefore they remain on the ramp.

Hey 7777, I'm up at Warrior...I'll have a near beer with you.

Oh come on, you can get booze at BAF .....it's just internet and telephone access that's a little problem...

Is Citation Air really starting to use a new aircraft type (Citation X)? I thought the Sovereign was their highest-end aircraft type?

 

[screwed]

Yes, CA is getting a x by the end of the year and is expanding there service area to include worldwide operation.

Hey 7777, I'm up at Warrior...I'll have a near beer with you.

You got it man.

Why the hell are we even here? There is NOTHING going on here. All the action is in Afghanistan. We have definetly won this Iraq war.

My internet and phone access worked great. The booze was the problem.

 

[gunfyter]

We have definetly won this Iraq war.

Can't be true. We were told the war was lost during the 2008 election campaigns?

Post #7 was a false statement? Why? Because you don't agree?

The Dow was at 6200. People were rushing the banks. Credit was gone. Post #7 is the truest post you'll ever read on this forum.

Break:

People who make millions can't afford an extra 5% tax...like they had less than a decade ago? As I recall the 80's and 90's were pretty good for the people making millions despite their extra 5%.

Let's work it out...
I make 10 Million a year. An extra 5% in tax is 500,000. Total tax is 39% or $3,900,000. Assuming I have zero deductions I bring home $6,100,000. You are arguing that 6.1 Million is way too little and I need to bring home 6.6 Million instead. 6.6 Million equals a President who is a great conservative and the pinnacle of fiscal responsibility. 6.1 equals a President who is a liberal gone mad and who wants to ruin our Country?

That rounding error is what's destroying America? That's what makes our President a Socialist worthy of Hitler and Obama/Joker posters?

Really...do tell.

I'll say it again; STOP WATCHING FOX!!!

...seriously. It sucks the brains right out of your head.

It really is amazing how much we agree on. The $6.6 million man will do just fine after Washington confiscates $500,000 of his earned wealth.
It's these people I and most other's with thread of common sense are worried about.
