    Re: 2018 Oklahoma City Aviation Thread

    For me, it's the ability to get a reserved seat. I'm 6'7", so for anything longer than jump to Dallas or Austin, I want economy plus, an exit row or first class.

    I've also been flying to places...

    Re: 2018 Oklahoma City Aviation Thread

    The ERJ family is different from the current E-Jet family. I loathe the old ERJ-140s, can't even stand upright in them. I in fact, ranted a bit last year about ERJs before I realized the current...

    I'm really with you on how good scan and go is at Sam's. But I'll probably give it up to sever my last ties to WalMart.

    Re: 2017 Oklahoma Commercial Aviation Discussion

    I'm 6'7". I can't stand upright in the aisle of some RJs, and sometimes can't sit in the window seat because of ceiling slope. (Haven't been on one that small in a while, admittedly). Also, quite...

    Re: 2017 Oklahoma Commercial Aviation Discussion

    I have no airline brand loyalty, and SWA doesn't tend to fly where I go...but god, I hate RJs. I have an upcoming trip that's 2 2.5 hour legs on a CRJ-900 and I'm dreading it.

    Re: Save OKC Schools Initiative

    I voted against the sales tax state question because I felt that a) sales tax is regressive b) ours is high enough and c) it would impede local initiatives like MAPs.

    Re: Save OKC Schools Initiative

    KCMO is the same way. I lived in Overland Park, worked in Missouri(By all of literally 3 feet). Paid KCMO income tax. It wasn't huge, though. Maybe a couple hundred bucks a year total.

    I just got to thinking about this. Are you sure 80,000 sq ft is the right number? We have an 80,000 sq ft warehouse and its pretty small. I think its 10 loading docks per side(Maybe 8).

  25. Re: Thruway Amtrak Bus Connection: Newton, KS, to Oklahoma City

    That's an FRA thing, not a union thing. Conductors are capped at the number of hours they can operate in a day, similar to how truckers are capped. But it's much more stringent.
