Michael, seattletimes.com Note, the 10% increase on one of the planes. I wonder if the FED will notice.<ggg> BTW, I serve on a Board of Directors and the organization has experienced an 8% year over year inflation in common labor costs, including benefits from 1991 through 1997.(non union) Someone in Washington is cooking the books.<ggg> Another phenomena is Corporations are getting cash to their employees through profit sharing..a non salary bookkeeping entry..and stock options to professional employees..even a more interesting accounting entry. I know you have already noted this scam. Honeywell is now again offering stock purchase at 15% below the quarters low stock price to their employees. A minimum guarantee of 15% on a % of your salary each and every quarter. BTW, they also send profit sharing checks. In my opinion the FED must be living in a different country than you or I.<ggg> Got that off my chest. Joan
