Some years ago I wanted to travel one way between RDM and SBA.

More recently I needed to travel between the SAC area and SBA. To be
sure, there are flights - by way of SFO.

More recent still was travel between FOT and SBA. You can take the
airlines from ACV with the usual SFO stop if you like.

I have no idea what RDM, SBA, and FOT are, and I live in the state.
Well, SBA I can guess is Santa Barbara. Why should I guess though?
Why not just type out the friggin' city names?

It's much worse when someone posts "I took a trip from SLW to CMI via
WPC, SQP, and XCS and the views were great" and you have no idea even
what part of the country they're talking about, 'cause it turns out
it's on the East Coast 3000 miles from you. I mean c'mon, type out
those place names so we can all read along.

AMEN!

IMHO, those guys who post only IDs are trying to appear "professional"
and "knowlegeable" but fail to communicate clearly.

Because it makes them look like high tech aviators. It's all about
being cooler than the next guy isn't it?

In total agreement.

bring the cost for fuel to a European price level and see what will
happen. :-)

Amtrak would still lose money. Besides, we pay too much in taxes as it is -
including gasoline taxes.

I see in another thread some grumbling about using airport
abbreviations instead of placenames. In general I agree that
it is appropriate to give the city name first, then use the
abbreviation in following remarks. In this case the topic
was lousy public transportation - and you could substitute
the name of just about any medium-sized city (with airline
service, and the story would be the same. I was also in a
hurry at the time of the previous post.

Be that as it may, the places I was referring to are as
follows:

LAX - Los Angeles CA
SFO - San Francisco, CA
SBA - Santa Barbara, CA
RDM - Redmond, OR
SAC - Sacramento, CA
ACV - Arcata, CA
FOT - Fortuna, CA (no airline service, but an Amtrak stop
- served by ACV).
