    I live in NJ, about 15 miles outside NYC, but work in DC. Ain't having a job grand in the hobo decade?

    Anyway, took the 5.12 am Amtrak this morning out of MetroPark, arrived Union Station in DC at 8.15 am. Was at my desk in MD by 9 am.

    In other words, go fuck yourselves, Goldman Sachs et al. Pussies.

    Please, please -- that's National Airport, not "Reagan"... or, as my wife likes to call it, "Iran-Contra National Airport".

    wait, i'm confused. Flights were canceled, but the pictures of the sky look super clear. Can we start a rumor that the banksters paid off the FAA to cancel a few planes so they didn't have to get out of their pajamas to talk to the president?

    They just can't win. The irony here is that if they had flown private, they could have made it. But they chose to fly commercial.

    So, basically these guys are so rich that they view the $200 each way Acela as being the equivalent of being forced to take the Chinatown bus? That's amazing. I am so poor.

    I really think this is a ridiculous post to wage verbal war on Wall St. bankers. It sounds like they called in by conference call because there were airspace issues.

    Why is this news?

    The headline is misleading, because they didn't skip the meeting. This is Fox News stuff, guys, hold yourself higher.

    @BaconForTheSoul: Thank you, yes. What a stupid post, considering they still attended by teleconference, and way to illustrate it with (i) a photo from DC hours after the fog delays and (ii) a photo at the time of the fog delays but from another city.

    Look at FlightStats.com for this morning. Just a random sample, out of the 13 American Airlines flights scheduled to fly into DCA between 8AM and noon today, 5 were canceled, 6 were at least 3 hours late, one was late 140 minutes and the last was late 45 minutes. What does having a private plane have to do with anything? Flights were fucked up because of the airport, not the planes. Sure, maybe they could have had someone call the FAA and give them a priority slot (and further delayed everyone else), or maybe they could just pick up the fucking phone.

    @Astigmatism: If they had gotten priority, can you imagine the headline?

    "3 Rich bankers use federal pull to pollute the environment on private planes before the rest of us, could have just picked up phones"

    It's the equivalent of the rich kid up the street taking his ball home cause you schooled his ass in P-I-G. Too bad "the ball" is all of our money.
