Haha...Well played sir, well played!

Ya, that's a rough one for the kids, although I doubt they are to upset about missing school...until it comes time to make the days up!

Front,

Appears to be a Catalina 400. Good choice! The CY470 will be my next boat.

I'm envious of anyone who's cut the dock lines. But, seriously. A Catalina?? Perhaps I'm just a traditionalist. But then, I still have a cubby just for my sextant.

I'm a fan of the Catalina as well. Real beamy and well thought out design.
I'd like to be in the "bow thruster" range of purchasing.

Here's a 470 4-sale.

Nothing wrong with CY's. The 3-digit boats (320/380/400/470 etc) were/are built in FL at the old Morgan plant (CY bought Morgan in the early 90's) and are more stout than the traditional CYs built in CA. Just look at the standing rigging and method its attached to the hull on a xxx-series boat compared to an xx boat. Big difference (the 42 is an exception). Yeah, I'd love an Oyster, Najad, or a Swan, but until I win the Lotto a CY is actually do-able.

that's a good price for a 2000 470 with that equipment, surprised it isn't sold already (unless this is an old listing and it IS gone)

Teachers are at fault?

I'm sure when the public blames pilot unions for the demise of every bankrupt airline you get right behind them and chant no more unions.

I have a childhood friend who is a high school teacher now. She screamed and yelled that it was BS for the Spirit pilots to strike, stranding PAYING passengers.
I just want to call her and tell her it's BS that teachers are striking and kids are missing out on an education.

I have two cousins and a brother in law who are teachers and they fully supported our right to strike against Midwest airlines ops back in 2000.

So what's the point your trying to make?

Was it un-patriotic or greedy for the Spirit pilots to negotiate a fair wage?


I am Certain if you were to meet a Spirit pilot you would not condemn them for striking. Or would you?

I'm having trouble seeing where he said something to indicate that he might not support the Spirit pilots. Could you help me by pointing out where he did?

Thanks

All I'm asking is why the double standard, the hypocrisy? Why are Pilot unions any different than teacher unions?

 

[The Prussian]

You can start with private money (voluntary) vs. public public money (involuntary)...

That was his point exactly.

EXACTLY!! We work for companies that HAVE TO make money or we lose our jobs. That's the risk we take. If the economy takes a dump and people still spend 100 dollars for a ticket to a basketball game, but not to shcool fund drives then we all are to blame, but teachers should not automatically get to keep their current pay. Do airlines furlough? Of course. Should teachers take a pay or benefit cut? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!

Farkin Awesome.

Be sure and mount a 50cal on that puppy before venturing too far (pirates are very real) and bring every Hunter Thompson novel with you.

Have fun.

Thats the first thing that came to my mind. The 50c would just be the start of what was loaded on the boat. Any good tactical shop should have all your needs, it a must before you go
