implied... yet another example of how a poster can mean one thing and have a reader see it from a different perspective.

If you read my posts in the original my position is pretty clear without needing to infer anything. If not, well it's gone now.

early in my career I learned that there were times when what I wrote was "pretty clear" but then my group leader would write a comment that made it evident that he misunderstood what I wrote. We'd talk, I'd explain the paragraph or sentence. He'd agree with what I wrote (given the explanation). And then I revised it to reduce the chance of someone else misunderstanding.

A long way to go to say: what one person thinks is "pretty clear" doesn't mean that it is impossible for someone else to have a reasonable different interpretation.

My point is that I made my point in the other thread that is deleted. Not going to keep beating the dead horse.

I can get from DC to Boston door to door in 4hrs, driving is 8hrs at night and 10hrs during the day. Not even a contest. DC to NYC it's closer if there is no traffic But then, I have done this 'flying on the airlines' thing for a while so I dont wait in a line for the rental car or check bags.

Still 4 hours, not 1. You're probably only in flight for an hour or less, but the trip is still gonna take 4.

FWIW, I could likely beat that in my Mooney. I'd spend under 2 hours in the air...

I'm familiar with northeast routing... Already accounted for that. All of the routes I'm seeing as previously cleared for piston aircraft are under 2 hours in the Mooney in still air.
 
Obviously didn't punch in the route to get the joke.

:confused:o_O Civils solve problems with hammers. We Mechs are more sophisticated than that. We use heat, pressure and a full set of combination wrenches and sockets. ;)
