Hope you guys get the fly them!

All I'm saying is that; if oil pices have anything to say about it. The Classic-nomics of the 1990's will soon hit a brick-wall. Airlines will be forced to go to new more fuel-efficeint birds. This has already sealed the doom of L1011's, Diesel -8's, -9's and -10's. Its only a matter of time before the fuel Boogie Man gets the Classic's too. Its going to take less than 15 years the way oil makets are going. Its already happening at Polar.
