I suppose that I best pick a real number, other than INFINITY. I'll take hmmm lessee, 10 November (yes, 2008!!). The vet's will get a ride heading to somewhere for the Remembrance Day festivities. Of course, in reality I have a more pessimistic view, but for the sake of this pool, I will dive into 10 November 2008.

I figure that even if it made it out of the dock for delivery tomorrow, which will not happen, it would still be over a month before it is ready, the crew is trained on it, and so on. That being said, I was really trying to think for a while of a date that would put me on the list after cadmunkey's guess.  But in the end, I will guess something that I think is closer to correct. I'll go with January 23. |

In the wishful thinking that I might get to ride on the new "boat", I'll go with Jan 9, 2009, 6:30AM ...though the 'wack is listed as the vessel of the day at the moment. I'm vibrating already, and I don't think it's in anticipation... ;D |

I am 'beginning' to have a much more pessimistic view as to when/if the IS will actually do a revenue trip ... what actual date is "When hell freezes over?" or is that non-specific like CadMunKey's guess?

If you're going by hell freezing over, that date may have already come if you wanna believe that recent commercial that's been running for whatever new service (I can't quite recall right now), that shows Satan freezing down in hell and his pet devil-fish encased in a block of ice. |

I believe you are referring to the Capital One ad. |

After watching a particular Simpsons episode, as much as I want to use it I will never use the "when pigs fly" term ever again. ;D It sure does seem to drag on and on as if it'll never get into service. What was the original projection. . .Spring 2008???
I may as well follow Ian's method and say February 15th.

Well, I am out with my 'forced' guess I shall thereby revert back to what I initially thought ... just barely the near side of not in this lifetime (Capital One commercial notwithstanding). Have they scheduled the IS for her first refit yet? Perhaps that should have been my guess ... inservice date will be about 2 weeks before the first major [unscheduled] refit ... wow -- eternal optimism ooozes out of me now! |

Well, I'm out too.  I thought I was giving her lots of time too because of all the rumors about her running at the end of summer. Oh well, maybe Cadmunkey will win after all. |
