I wouldn't travel with them, ever again.

Next time, Yamaha will announce that "the last octave on Clavinova pianos will be optional"

Hey, why do they use engines?
I would shut down ALL engines because that would save the whole money for gasoline...

Then I would unmount the whole engines because we wouldn't need them anymore without any gasoline. To start the airoplane we could build a ramp with a big rubber band to catapult the plane into the air.

The advantage of this kind of traveling is that you won't need any rations because no passengers would be able to eat anything.

Also, you wouldn't need to build any airports because it would really be questionable to meet one of them. Only start ramps are needed and they could be placed where ever you want. ..

You DO know that the story is a spoof, right?

Did you check out the ad for web-space design? It tells how wonderful the company is and what all they offer, then when you check the link for more information, it says the page will be available in Jan. 05!! Now that's funny, but very subtle.

Yeah thats not true, being so an airplane can EASILY operate on one engine on an entire flight. and the 300 million figure anually im thinking, is way far off. Every cent the gas prices raise it costs NWA 13 million a day or something comepletely insane like that. Haha ALL of my family works for NWA I usually get the low-down.
