Gosh - No mercy for the OP

Came in on an RJ from SDF at 11 am today - we used 10 and it was pretty windy coming down. My next flight ORD-IAD on a 777 was rocking somewhat at the gate (C17 I think) while we waited for a mx to be fixed. On taxi, I heard on Ch 9 that somebody was cleared to taxi to 14L for takeoff - to which the pilot did an audible doubletake - the instruction was repeated - and the pilot said something like "Oh okay, not used to that one" - guess because it's a bit of a hike to get over there... Anyway, a bit more interesting than normal today.
And in other news ... I just spent an SWU to get confirmed in C on the ORD-SFO 744 next week. I am in 13K - been flying with UA for 10 years and this will be my first upper-deck 747 ride!!!!
