  1. SO...are you saying just give them millions of dollars and put everything on Black and spin the wheel...if it lands on black we win..if not...we are out millions and millions of dollars if it lands on Red. You have better odds in Vegas.

     

    I am shocked beyond belief that you think we should just "See how it goes" Are you out of your EFFING mind?

     

    I think you are crazy.... just like you spewed the same scheeze about the damn movie studio! How did that work out for ya?

  2. Airtran = ValuJet. They started out of Atlanta and only went to 3 cities. They bought used DC9's from Delta.... NEXT. It don't matter where the hell you have to fly from...it's still cheaper to fly from Hartsfield.

     

    I still say that families out here will NOT be flying out of our airport. You will NOT see flocks of sports teams with charters out of here. No way..if so...every commercial airport in the US would be offering cheap CHARTER type flights for this. Most of these commercial flights fly 2 days a week. NOT every day. SO...you either leave on Thursday and come home on Tuesday... Better check the fly plans from other cities that offer this type of service. Most do not fly back and forth every day. They don't offer but certain flights.

     

    Great example of what you're talking about...... http://www.fly2pie.com/

  3. Don't read too much into this "tearing the county apart" as once you get past the STOP ALL PROGRESS IN PAULDING group of at best the 20(+-), who show up at the meetings in their blue shirts and past Ms. Patti's website you really don't have an issue. If you go to a high traffic area say around Target in Hiram or up on Cedarcrest at a strip center...better than 1/2 the folks you talk with DON'T even know we have an airport much less an issue with it.

     

    Ask the question as follows...If you had a choice of driving to Hartsfield / Jackson to fly to a vacation destination such as Biloxi, Myrtle Beach, or Las Vegas or driving a few miles up 278 and flying out of Paulding County...which would you prefer to do? You will quickly see the support the Airport actually has. I have actually done this several times and had extremely positive responses!

     

    If so many people "FLY" to vacation spot...why the hell do I see so many flipping minivans with GO #17 or whatever on the road to Florida and NC? If you go to a soccer, softball, or baseball tournament......HOW many teams fly? How many members on each team FLY? 1 or 2 maybe. My sister has kids who play travel ball out of Arkansas and they DRIVE to Texas, Alabama, Florida and other places. NONE of the families have a plane or can afford to fly. It's all they can do to raise money or pay the entry fees and hotel cost. Let alone charter a flight.

     

    I see way to many sports teams selling donuts on the street corners and having fundraisers just to be able to get to the tournaments and stay at a hotel for it, let alone FLY to an event.

     

    Seriously? You really think in our bedroom community with FAMILIES they will be able to afford to jump on a flight and go to Orlando, Biloxi or MB? Really? You are seriously smoking something and I will have what you're having today!

  4. I've asked VALID questions...and still have no answers. All some of you want to say is....well they have successful businesses here in Paulding.

     

    1. Who on any of the boards making decisions have managed or converted a municiple airport to a commercial airport? Who has the experience in Aeronautics to be making these decisions?

     

    2. What highways do you think will be direct access from the airport to the Interstates to ship products via ground transportation? How close are these said roadways to major interstates?

     

    3. Where is the Aeronautical business plan for this airport?

  5. If he looked like he did in his photo...he wouldn't have scared me... Now if he was looking like a stereo typical flasher... (old gray hair, scruffy, dirty and over 60) I actually may have felt threatened sorta...sounds weird..but he actually looks normal... all but showing his junk... Since he's so proud of it..he could have just applied at the Coronet Club....and possibly got a job... unless he's really fat and I couldn't tell from his picture.

     

    Has anyone seen if he was on FB yet?

  6. LPPT asked for wasteful spending by Paulding Co? Those projects listed were not projects that used tax dollars right from our millage tax. Those are FEDERAL moneys.. The County had nothing to do with collecting them. I guess we should NOT apply to have our own tax dollars spent in our county...Hell lets all keep paying the taxes and let's let Douglas or Carroll have nice fountains or ADA approved sidewalks.

     

    Good Job LPPT... You answered it better and nicer than I would have.

     

     

    Jamie.....Keep up the good work. I may try to stop by and chat with you today if you are available this afternoon.
