Hey guys. I’m sitting here and it’s nine o’clock, while all you poor souls on the East Coast are looking at midnight.

I hate daylight savings time. Especially when I am in a West Coast time zone.

Anyway, that is beside the point.

This week’s issue of PlaneBusiness Banter is sitting in front of me, and it is finished. Yep, we’re not only talking about airlines this week, we’re talking about the Federal Reserve bailing out banks. We’re talking about ExpressJet’s earnings call. We’re talking about a horrible week for the airline sector this week on Wall Street. We’re talking about auction-rate securities and which airlines are more at risk than others. Never a dull moment.

I’m going to post this week’s issue in the morning — as we had an unexpected missive arrive late today that I want to include in this week’s issue, and it’s going to require,  well, another set of eyes, before I can post it.

So go back to your Friday night beers and we’ll talk to you in the morning. Well, unless you are on the East Coast, and who knows when I’ll talk to you next. That’s what you people get for living so far East.
