    As the spouse of an Embraer 175 crew member, I can tell you that a PWM-MIA or FLL is not a stretch for that aircraft which has a range of 2,500 miles. The PWM-MIA flight is 1,353 miles. I absolutely wish American Eagle would add that route. I'd fly the hell out of that. For free. ;)

    Well this could get interesting ... he really needs to be removed as Director. I'm not sure if/why the PPH seems to be supportive of him by giving him this public forum. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/like-a-boss-with-mark-bessire-portland-museum-of-art-tickets-824023625847?aff=Digital
