Feeling Guilty

Gents,

The Grease will be living large in Bahrain at The Dragon Hotel on Amwaj Island this Thanksgiving. I was able to procure the last three bottles of Makers Mark at BMMI Liquor store and some weird crap box wine that my buddy's Russian...er..Bulgarian lady "friends" really like.

We were going to be stuck in Riyadh waiting for the plane to come out of maintenance but we said NFW and dinky dow'ed back to the island.

Anyone can make it down to BAH come on down and we'll celebrate CitationAir's holiday recall. No worries here, plenty of Jim Beam Black left on the shelf..

Out

I didn't serve in Viet Nam but I'm pretty sure "dinki dau" refers to being a little nuts and "diddi mau" means hurry up. Just sayin'

Don't blame you for the repo though. Happy Turkey Day.

Good for you Grease. Haven't been back there since 04. Used to go to the Navy base and drink. Nice place. Anyways, hope you had a good one. Still in Speicher if you ever get up this way.
 
Citation Xs at CA?

Sorry if this has already been discussed (I thought I had asked this question earlier but I didn't see a response), but can anyone at Citation Air confirm that Citation Xs will now be added to the fleet? If so, how many Xs and over what timeframe? Is it just a way to use idle Citation X inventory over at Cessna or is there specific demand from passengers for that type (i.e., for flights to Hawaii and Europe like NJA and XOJet)?

Sounds like good news if it is true...

Well, actually no. It's a matter of public record. Google any N number.

Like N421QS for instance. Why does Textron own a fraction of an NJI G450? CitationAir a/c not good enough for their executive travel?
 
Ever try to fly a Sovereign from TEB-FCO with 8 pax and a F/A? Pepsi also uses nja-guess who owns nja and is on the BOD of Coke?

They're not all rich. My daughter interns for a congressman that has a sleep sofa in his office. It's not there for what you might think. He can't afford to maintain a home in his district and one in DC.

Sorry dude, you've been duped. They receive a stipend for housing that covers living expense. Dry cleaning, shoe shining, food and barber shop are some of the essentials that are covered...your employer does this right?

sorry, congrats to all the CitationAir guys, glad you will be going back to work/flying...
 
Well then his entire office has been duped. I personally know the dude and he is not a rich man.

Not to mention that NJ is also one of the biggest customers for Cessna.

WAS they canceled ALL orders (even the guaranteed ones) That is what ticked off Cessna to finally officially join (not silent anymore) with CS and officially create CitationAIR. The sales force working together, Managed A/C, etc. Before NJ did this Cessna was a very silent partner/parent

That will tell you who owns the aircraft, not necessarily who operates it. Big difference.

BTW....nothing confirmed yet on who owns the first X we'll be operating. All rumors at this point.
I could care less who owns it. It means more jobs here, more pilots off furlough and more Captains! :beer:

?? Now I'm confused. Wasn't this your original statement?
Who owns aircraft that CitationAir manages is not something that should be discussed on a public message board. It's called private aviation for a reason. :rolleyes:

So you've changed to now we shouldn't discuss who operates it?

Okay, got it now.:rolleyes:

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.

No kidding. I mean you could watch John Stewart or that fat ass Michael Moore, who are so much more enlightened.
Glasspilot. It's far better to keep your mouth shut and wonder if you are an idiot than to type such drivel and prove it.

Sorry for the thread hijack. Congrats CA pilots on the recalls.
 
Wow, you made some really well thought out points there. I may have to reconsider my position.

Well done.
