A new thread...

[TurboHonda]

OK Turbo, since we got this bad vibe started, we'll try to talk about something more "fractional oriented."

1) What's your favorite FBO in the US? Why?

2) What's the best airplane to suit the fractional industry today? Why?

3) Where can you get the best crewfood in the US? What dish do you recommend?

4) What's your favorite overnight in the US? What's there to do there?



There. Now we have some things to talk about and share without talking about the other issues.

Good grief. Is my approval that important to you? Ok. You're a good boy. I like you. Happy now?

Why is it that everytime you get a ten hour turn, the hotel is nowhere near the airport?

Stealth bags. I just don't understand why so many guys insist on lugging them around. Seems kind of pretentious for our line of work. And what's the deal with all that weight? What are they made out of, for crissakes? Depleted uranium?

Flame on.

Well, Travel Pro used to do the job quite nicely - back in the early 90's. Heck, there used to even be a place near FLL where crews could go in and great some sweet deals. At some point the company must have been sold it off, because the QA went Tango Uniform. As an example of just how far the brand has fallen, I saw some recently at a TJ Maxx.

Luggage Works, baby. Absolutely bomber. And they role nicely, too. It's true, they are a little heavy...

I got mine when I worked for the regionals, under the illusion that they were basically indestructible. Continental Express rampies proved otherwise. :laugh: (Yes, they cracked the frame!) I liked that it was put together in the US, but the weight was getting to me.

I now carry a Costco 22" expandable, and couldn't be happier. (And yes, sold at a union store!)

Just got a Costco membership. My old Samsonite, which I've carried for five years now, is starting to show its age. Maybe I'll head over there this afternoon and see what they've got.

NICE!!!!!!!! You have just figured out the fastest way to make sure this thread goes to at least 6 or 7 pages!!!!


COSTCO all the way! I used to carry the 27" PNS but my lower back told me that carrying a 234 pound bag was stupid. I made the switch a few years ago and sold my bag to Fischman. Now he's the one at the back doctor's once a week!!! Ha!!!!

 

[HiSpeedFlyer]

Hit the weights you wusses........PNS for life. Never will use anything else.

And the Sox swept the Jays this afternoon....


.....I can taste that case of Ice Cold Stag now....

Actually, I think you sold it to NP.

I've had my Costco bag for 6 years and she's rolling strong!
