New Orleans seemed like a superior place to have this conversation because I'd seen maps showing how the city would no longer be there if we lose our polar ice caps. Little did I envision that the clarity of the issue would hit home in this way.

In accordance with our FAA approved manuals and procedures, the aircraft was subsequently dispatched. At no time was the safety of our passengers placed at risk.

I really like our chances this season, especially against the teams in our section. This is a good group of gilrs we have on this team. It's a really talented group and they did well today.

We are aware of what might have precipitated this lawsuit. It's something we have been working on with the FAA for over two years now, and we will continue to do that.

We're trying to stay at Fishermen's Village. We want the shopping center management to reconsider extending our lease. I don't think they realize the amount of traffic we generate for the shopping center. There are other spots available in Charlotte County, but none are high-traffic areas. (The Port Charlotte) Town Center mall is not an option because there are no available stores.

Our doubles team is still a work in progress. We have some younger people there and some people who haven't played much together. I think you'll see them get better as the season goes on.

I would definitely say our singles players are the strength of our team. They have really been great in practice and they obviously did a real nice job today.

A qualified mechanic was dispatched to the aircraft and conducted an inspection of the entire wing, finding no evidence of a fuel leak.

Without the computer systems, you wouldn't have the kind of air service you have today.
