Missy's arranged for our flights to be upgauged to 737-800s, just so we can stare longingly at an empty F cabin with no upgrades offered to any of us who booked awards.

With the recent fire sale on PDX flights I'm now inbound on AS137 and outbound on AS140. Gave up MVPG guest upgrades but saved $288 and I'm probably #1 on upgrade list as of now.

Its a short flight. Id take the savings as well over F. Especially if new F.

Am I the only one leaving DUT on the 4th? Maybe I should set up an EF alert on the 3rd?

I added a section to the Wiki a few weeks ago to add Arrivals in ANC so We know when people are heading up north.

I still vote for Denali for Pre-Do

Looks like Marine Highway schedule is not workable for me. Kodiak to Dutch Harbor - departs 9/26. Dutch Harbor to Kodiak - departs 9/12. Plus no sightseeing between stops. Cold Bay is the longest stop at 3 hours. Also almost a full week in Dutch harbor sound like way too much

My award was already messed up once with the last schedule change. I guess they will mess it up again.

Are you sure you're not talking about the 2000 SAAB automobile?

Just paperwork issues IIRC, getting FAA certification for airline operations. A defunct airline, ATA's regional partner Chicago Express (who operated the Saab 340) wanted them as well. This was 10 years ago so I don't specifically remember what the problem was, but Penair was also dealing with it. I'll try to find a source as I'm curious how it was resolved as well. Probably just time and money, it costs to get approval to fly a new type in the US.

The planes themselves are supposedly great. Slightly faster than a Q400, should be pretty comfortable to fly in.
