dalittle: i feel compelled to inquire further about the 420k/year. how do you do that? you're the man even by ft standards. (that's 3 tpacs / month by my count)

if you were to start a "who flies the most?" thread in travelbuzz, i'd put my money on you.

btw, sorry for mispelling mr. tan's first name. sometimes i get careless in my typing. incidentally, i took yoga with his daughter several years back and she was pretty cool. i have no real problem with him, though many --if not most-- of the foreign carriers in mnl are none too fond. then there's whole t3 issue, which is too sorted and complex to broach here.
