What? 5:30 a.m.?

Ugh. I’m definitely not an early riser. On most days, I couldn’t even tell you if there really is a 5:30 a.m.

Wednesday, Spirit AeroSystems president and chief executive Jeff Turner will speak at Merrill Lynch’s Global Markets and Investment Banking Conference. And his remarks are being webcast. But here’s the kick — he’s speaking at 5:30 a.m.

I called Spirit today to inquire whether there was a mistake on the press release. Surely it was an error. No such luck. The conference is being held in London.

If you want to catch his remarks, go to Spirit’s Web site bright and early Wednesday.
