    Military FBO contracts

    The contract in Ottawa does not actually meet the contractual requirements for FBO. PWGSC really dropped the ball on that one. If you want more details on solutions we can talk offline, as I have been dealing with the Ottawa situation since the contract was award to AIG in the summer.

    Sadly being a Queen's Alum, you statement may have some Truth. On another note, there are certain counties in Nevada where prostitution is Legal and I suspect that this brothel is in one of those counties.

    If any of you are interested in the deal provided by rogers simply go to their store and ask about the military plan that they offer. Sometimes they look at you cluelessly, but tell them it really exists and they can usually look through their system and find the deal and print out a sheet with...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    That's cool. I'm not trying to detract from your dream. I was just responding to EStrike101 and mines conversation.

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018
