My home airport was $5.70 (They are crooks) and the other four airports I visited on the road were $3.30, $3.36, $3.38, and $4.60) Agreed, we had several of them, but never CAA and we also never got $3.anything anywhere that I can remember. It certainly sounds like CAA is the new game in town. Based on how they operate, that's a great thing too. The more people they get on board, the lower the prices will go.

Username Protected wrote: CAA IS the bomb but i cant kiss and tell lol Michael, we're talking twins here, gas prices are irrelevant. Now did a Cessna Caravan have to ditch because of an engine failure or not...... Think Hawaii, think birth certificate, think swimming......when a perfectly good SECOND engine would have taken you back to the runway.......

It's like when that smokin hot girl applies for the assistant position you have advertised. She has no qualifications at all... but, but... I hired the very well qualified fat girl and have never regretted it.
