    “AirlineQuality.com”:http://www.airlinequality.com/. I haven’t used this site in a while because I’ve mainly been stuck on United.

This method from “Microsoft”:http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011367671033.aspx?pid=CL100626971033 seems to…

    OK, this probably should go into a work blog, but this is the one I have open. We are looking at a company where FASB FIN 46 makes a difference. It is about the consolidation of interest from special purpose vehicles. Its designed to prevent the Enron-like off-balance sheet financing…
