Well, yeah, if it's anyone, it's them. Not a lot of millionaire moguls, captains of industry, or assorted fatcats fly to CLE for any reason other than to have their arteries bypassed at the Cleveland Clinic. You may be right; I see noonish flights to IAH and EWR similarly waitlisted. Whereas early morning departures (too early for disembarking cruisers to catch) aren't waitlisted. Anyway, I am waitlisted...though only as a kindness to the little woman, who has developed a taste for FC. Personally, I don't think 30,000 miles for a flight that short makes sense. But, I'm not the world's greatest husband for nothin'!
