A Day in the Life - Delivering Slot Machines to a New Casino in Pittsburgh, Pa.
2009-05-31 10:09:20| Trucking - Topix.net
I awoke this morning at the Rivers Casino. I had sixty-nine slot machines to get unloaded. The casino is not yet open, so the night before I had asked security for permission to park on what was left of the public street near the unloading docks. I am glad I did. By 8 A.M. my unloading time, the construction was in full swing. A machine was digging up half the street I would have had to back into. A truck arrived to unload supplies at the truck dock, and I was safely backed down the street to the closest place to the door my machines were going to be unloaded and taken to. Another truck arrived to unload bases the slot machines sit on. In this one block of what used to be a public street, four different crews were performing 4 separate tasks, each trying to get their own job done while not hindering others. It reminded me of the dance done by the stage hands at traveling shows, or at convention centers before and after trade shows.

FAA Filings for November 7, 2008 - New York Airport Slot Auction Correction
2008-11-08 04:01:09| Daily Airline Filings
Congestion Management at New York LaGuardia Airport and JFK and Newark Liberty International Airports FAA-2006-25709 - LaGuardia FAA-2008-0517 - JFK and Newark November 3, 2008 Final Rule - Correcting Amendment - John F Kennedy and Newark On October 10, 2008, the FAA published a final rule that will grandfather most of the existing operations at the airports. However, carriers will be required, for the first time, to purchase collectively approximately ten percent of the slots at each of the airports. There are no carve‑outs or special provisions for new entrants or limited incumbents. This rule will improve the efficiency of the National Airspace System by forcing a market‑based mechanism for establishing the value of slots. Under prevailing economic theory, once the true value of slots is assessed, carriers will make financial business decisions that would maximize the slots' use. In the final rule, the FAA intended the initial reversion of slots for auction to take effect 30 days after the final rule's effective date, which would be January 8, 2009. This was the time period referenced in the final rule as approved by the Office of Management and Budget. The January 13, 2009 date published in the Federal Register reflects an incorrect time period of 35 days following the final rule effective date. At present, the FAA intends to auction the initial slate of slots on or about January 12, 2009. While the slots revert to the FAA under the rule on January 8, 2009, the FAA is not required to conduct the auction on that date, and no carrier will lose the ability to operate any slot that meets the usage requirements of the John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (Newark) International Airport Orders before October 25, 2009. Accordingly, this correction notice will have no practical impact on carriers operating at the airports. Correction - On page 60569, in the third column, in § 93.165, paragraph (c), remove the date "January 13, 2009" and add in its place the date "January 8, 2009."
