I honestly have never had issues with CO's EWR-DCA service. Only once did I get stuck in DCA, but that was St. Pattys day in 2007 when a huge ice storm hit NYC and everything stopped.

ROFL. That was hysterical.

I think I'm starting to miss my bed.
Wow, I didn't think it would kick in this early. Maybe not doing this run was a good idea.

Though, from one of the MR threads, there is a hunch that one maybe able to do the LHR-SYD run and throw HNL legs and that has seemed rather tempting. In theory, one can burn a single SWU and upgrade the whole thing. That would be a great value for a SWU.

Is it turn 1 or is he on turn 2 already? I was supposed to be back in LAX this morning at the end of my turn, so i'm thinking this is turn #2.
