I think that if I had a tenth of 5 mil I would move to. That is 500,000 and I could live on that for a LOOOONNG time,and be happy doing it along with my social security and benefits I think that I would be set for a goooooodd while LOL As noted why move when you are able to get cheaper labor where you are now? DUH Rocket science time!!! Gomer | ||

yawn...I think this means that Silver Eagle is pretty much dead. They're going to need a lot more than 5 million.Maybe they want to leave the state before the sheriff arrives.  Who is going to buy them or invest in them in the current climate which is going to last a lot longer than than they are. Charter service levels have never recovered from pre 911 days and the fuel prices didn't help at all. When I was down at Luke's about 3 years ago, there were SCORES of commercial coaches stored in the yard next to his shop. Some were only a few years old.No charter demand; no one wanted or needed the coaches. Someone was eating a lot of depreciation on these coaches. That was a great reason that used coach prices started to collapse. Guys on here that thought they got a great deal on a used worn MC7 suddenly found in 3 years that an MC9 or newer was a good bit cheaper than the one they had. Just used MCI as an example; they all want down in price fast. |
