Seeing that you're apparently nothing but a typical union thug, who should I bother? Matt, why do you post a response and say why should I bother ?????? It seems your main desire is to flame and bait people on this list (Much like that MX individual). Should we call you MXMatt ? . An unfortunate side effect of your posts is that it shows a Grand Canyon between what you think you know about flying and what you actually understand. I cant say for sure what you are jealous of but you have a real hard on for those who have worked the past 75 years to make your flying safer. Pompous, union thug, I should note! MxMatt, Ive been called alot of things, but never this! You are clever. {plonk} plonk yourself you zainy rascal !! Oh, yes; FoS, as well. And a Fos, you FoWgiE to you to. -- Matt Barrow Performance Homes, LLC. Cheyenne, WY ??????????? |

When did AmTrak become a private enterprise?
It didn't. I was mistaken. I thought it was a government entity taken private, but it was more like the other way around (but not quite). Jose -- You can choose whom to befriend, but you cannot choose whom to love. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

In that light, I still recommend that you take advantage of a public service provided for the common good. It is a very educational experience. Neil |

No one gets out of life alive. ;-) Yeah, going anywhere over 50 miles by Amtrak is going to be VERY educational. Having traveled thousands of miles on AmTrak, I highly recommend it. It's a heck of a lot better experience than I've had on any airline. Neil |

I would have saved 18 hours each way even if I stopped for 8 hours sleep. It was only about $50 cheaper than flying round trip and used up 3 days of vacation. Faster trains wouldn't have helped because the train had to stop at every town with a Post Office. Never Again! Don |

I'll probably agree with your comparison, as well. /sarcasm Neil |

There are faster ways to go anywhere than to travel by train (or by ship). Kinda misses the point of the experience, though. Neil |

Just had mine & agree completely, no sarcasm intended. At least I was unconscious during the most painful and humiliating parts of the experience, which is better than I can say about my last airline flight. -- Dan T-182T at BFM |
