I remember them well. Actually a pretty good airline. Flew into smaller towns like Roswell and Carlsbad as well as Midland, Abliene and of course others. I think they were bought out by or became Continental didn’t they?

Remember the shutdown a few years ago? Well the SOBs have done it again!!!
“SAN FRANCISCO, July 10 – The latest illegal West Coast work stoppages by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) shut down eight terminals in the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports today. These illegal stoppages are the latest in a series of 135 such shutdowns in the past 24 months and are costing the maritime shipping industry well over $150 million dollars, industry officials announced today.”

Oh dear, they’re going to make China mad!
Dr. Perryman is a respected Texan. However, his elite Globalists views in his reports, omit the negitive effects of the TTC and other toll roads.

Houston thanks the West Coast ILWU......
Thanks for the ping!
You’re welcome. :-)
Houston will be even more thankful once the Panama Canal is widened.

He be a NAU man?
l.a.—long beach have surpassed their capacities.
no one will allow them to build higher capacity freeways to the ports.
california is no longer an educational leader, nor an opportunity for the young.
so, logically it has to be mexico and houston.
america will return to its midwest center.
“He be a NAU man?”
He’s friends with Bush and Perry.....it’s a good bet.
I looked up his bio and Globalization is his specialty.
That’s funny. A google search of Perryman + globalist yields nothing. Perhaps you could share your documentation?
“Perhaps you could share your documentation?”
Try *Ray Perryman*......there are a number of articles.
If you don’t want to back up your assertions, that’s ok.
Texas House passes moratorium on private toll roads
A Texas House of Representatives bill calling for a two-year moratorium on private toll roads passed overwhelmingly this week with a 134-5 vote. A similar measure is headed for a vote in the state Senate.
Although the bills do not specifically mention the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor, the sponsor of HB2772 – Rep. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham – says her intent is to get other lawmakers to take a long, hard look at the proposed network of private toll roads.
“We need to put the brakes on these private toll contracts before we sign away half a century of future revenues and give away the local control of our transportation system,” Kolkhorst said in a statement released to Land Line.
“I’ve been working on this proposal to stop the Trans-Texas Corridor for several years, and I’m proud to see that so many of my fellow lawmakers in both parties share my concerns.”
Kolkhorst’s bill calls for a moratorium on comprehensive development agreements between the state and private equity investors for roads. It also contains language prohibiting the sale or lease of existing toll roads to private interests. Kolkhorst’s bill was passed as an amendment to a larger bill in the House.
The Senate version of the bill, SB1267, introduced by Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, has received committee approval but has not yet been added to the calendar for a floor vote, a Senate staffer told Land Line.
There are several tracks the proposed legislation could take before heading to the governor’s desk. The Senate could approve the larger bill passed by the House, or the Senate could pass SB1267 and send it to the House for approval.
“It gives us options,” a spokeswoman for Nichols told Land Line.
Before the proposed legislation can become law, Gov. Rick Perry will have to sign it.

Getting Perry to sign it without a majority will be difficult.
Yep.
