why would they have a press conference at 10:15 PM germany time?

better beer?

I am usually in Frankfurt this time of year for the Music Messe -- world`s largest music show. At most German exhibits, beer is served after lunch to customers and staff. Beer is also served at every press event -- that`s why they come early and stay late unless there is another press event to attend and more beer to drink. By 10:15p, most are well on their way to blitzed. I think the 2:15 makes most sense.

As has been posted, the Wencor press event may or may not have coverage. It is a trade event. However, it certainly would be a great place to announce a deal or two, but we may not have blow by blow coverage of a trade event quickly. Plus, we just don`t know when we will get the three airlines Boyer spoke of to the press.

Just my $0.02 and I don`t drink beer.
