Curiously I was required to get an interview (NEXUS) by US CBP then a week later Canada said I didn't need one and the interview was cancelled.

Just an update v.2 : Decided to have a little fun.
Flying to MIA (tomorrow morning) for an interview there this Sunday, as I didn't want to drive to anywhere

So, yeah, quick one-nighter just for the interview -yay

Once done it will take up to a week to get your card, it is mailed from NH.
But you will have our PASSID number on your application page and that is all that is needed to enter in your FF profile in the KTN (Known Traveler Number).

So, it was the best choice. Flights tanked to MIA so currently enroute to FLL (DL1103 -feel free to stop by 13B and say hi)
Probably will have to reschedule though for sometime earlier tomorrow as we'll have to drive back to FLL for returning but oh well.
UPDATE: Yours truly was able to score a walkin for today

No PDB this morning. First miss in a few yrs when there was plenty if time to do it. Not a huge deal since I have 20 hrs of flying ahead of me and 2 SC stops today but my biggest concern is who is davetravels is gonna rant about if people arent having a PDB prior to 12pm. Just kidding Dave!

Well . . . . .
First of all, I can only remember one time recently that I didn't get a PDB, and it was clearly because of a late departure and the FA told us there wouldn't be PDBs.
That said . . . . .
A coupl'a weeks ago, I flew ATL/MEX, and on the J menu, the dessert was supposed to be Warmed Apple Butter Cake with vanilla ice cream. As you can see in the pic, the words "Warmed" and "with vanilla ice cream" were literally CROSSED OUT with a pen! HOW TACKY IS THAT for int'l business class!
I asked the J FA about it, and she said that the B737-700 isn't equipped with enough space to store frozen items, and her oven was too full with the regular menu food, so, she didn't have space to warm the apple butter cake. She claimed that that route should have the int'l version of the B737 that goes to Central America.
Maybe I should have asked for it in Spanish, since the Spanish version wasn't crossed out!

So Im in the F SC and have all my stuff on the skydeck raised table with absolutley no one around and go back inside briefly for another adult beverage. When I come out, A guy is standing on my chair trying to get a picture of his girlfriend and a 777 pulling into F10. He says sorry I didnt see all your stuff there and as he is getting off the chair manages to spill his drink all over the table just missing my ipad. Cmon dude situational awareness man. He did apologzize and say i was trying to get the money shot....I said of your girlfriend.....he said no of the 777. All was forgiven once I heard that.

For the love of all that is holy, offer half and half or cream for coffee in coach!! Do not hand me that nasty vegetable oil "non dairy creamer" nonsense. It's not creamer at all!
