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.

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...

"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.

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.

Mr Glass sorry for the ignorance, been watching FOX, could you explain how this number is good for America.
$700,000,000,000.

Could you explain what any of this has to do with recalls at CitationAir? START YOUR OWN THREAD!!!!!

 

[doh]

I just got back from Mexico. This is the first thread I opened. Wooooooohoooooo! I'm really glad for the recalls!:beer:

 

[Flex-ible]

Must be true. My unit just came home three months into a deployment.

And we got two real beers each on November 10!

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.

 

[Greaseman]

I appreciate the correction. A little nuts or in a hurry works for me.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

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.

 

[blueridge71]

Now if President O will just give up on taking over healthcare and passing a carbon cap-an-tax we might see some more growth and recalls.

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...
