Don't look for logic in pricing. The only logic is how much they can charge without losing business.

 

Att Uverse recently added a 24 cents surcharge to their customers to cover an FCC tax. 8 cents of that goes to the FCC 16 cents go to ATT. 16 cents times millions of customers adds up to about $10 million annually in ATTs pockets. It's not about logic, its about what they can get away with.

Just checked and flights to Maui dropped almost $100 per ticket this week.  Down to $880 from $980 last week.  I'm going to wait until after New Years and if tickets drop to around $750-$800 range, I will book a trip to Maui instead of Turks and Caicos.

 

Ever been to Turks and Caicos?

 

I went about 5 years ago on a scuba diving trip.  The diving was pretty good, but the island left a lot to be desired.  Much nicer places to visit in the Caribbean.

Yea, 3 years ago.  I loved it honestly.  I love family atmosphere.  Nice beach and snorkling was amazing.  We took a boat to private island and it was awesome with no one around, just us on the island. We saw a bold eagle on the island which I tho was weird as hell.  Maui tho is a totally different story.

You found my eagle! I was wondering where he flew off to.

Found a trip from Charlotte to Paris 2 plane tickets plus 7 nights at 4 star hotel for $3.6k.  That's a good deal.

 

That seems very expensive to me.  We spent $5400 for four tickets charlotte to paris and 6 nights at a four star hotel last spring.  The Hotel was the Pullman at Montparnasse, nice but not extravagant, It was outside the major tourist areas, but very close to a Metro station which made getting around easy. Maybe travel is April is a little cheaper though.

Thanks for heads-up.  Will look for cheaper.

I was thinking the same thing. But its been a while since I've been to Europe. I used to find round trips for under 450 about 10 years ago.

      Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.

      Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
