Here is a typical question on an exam that W. had to pass. W. had to answer 60 questions like this in order to qualify for flying.

What should be the approximate elapsed time from the BOSEMAN (BZN) VOR to the DUBOIS (DBS) VORTAC if the wind is 24 knots from 260 degrees and your intended True Air Speed is 185 knots? (The magnetic variation is 17deg. E)

A. 33 minutes
B. 37 minutes
C. 39 minutes

Now can you answer that question on your own? If so, maybe you’re right that W. is not an intelligent person. But the evidence proves you wrong.

I took and passed this test before I was halfway through High School. And I wasn’t the most stellar HS student.

1. They will need to arrange a place to rent, preferably one with a landlord that makes their payments on time, seriously, they should check up on this before renting.

2. They will need to arrange to rent a moving truck, or arrange with a moving company for moving services.

3. They will need to file a change of address with the post office and notify their various utilities that they wish to keep of their change of address.

That’s about it. I may have missed something, but I think those are the major points.

Oh, and I welcome them to the world of renting, it isn’t that bad.

If your an airline selling tickets today based on $2.00/ gallon jet fuel, you need to be able to hedge against fuel prices rising. If you require delivery, then who will buy the other side of the rising fuel prices bet? It’d have to be another commodity consumer (or a producer or storer), but other airlines and other consumers of oil products aren’t going to get on the other side of this bet, they have to hedge against rising prices (consumers), and on the other side of the bet(producers, storage), I doubt that oil companies would like to take delivery of a bunch of cheap oil. (just what they need when prices are down)
Another problem is if your an airline (again, sorry) say you’ve got a contract with say Chevron to provide you with x amount of fuel for the next year, what happens when you have to take delivery of your contract as well?
