IT does seem that CO is trying to get more people buying A/Y, I just don't know who is silly/careless/wasteful enough to do it.
I wouldn't MIND connecting in IAH that much, but houston's so humid, even in the airport.
Actually, on my last few flights, FLL-EWR in both a 753 and 752BF, I came to the realization that I think many of us have noticed. Domestic First ain't that great. Its 'nice'. But it isn't 'great'. Why do we spend the effort? because Y just SUCKS, Y is intolerable. F is livable. That's why B6 (and god, even maybe song?) are going to do better and better, because they have a livable Y product. After having experienced 752BF's on transcons, I have been very disappointed in the normal F service.
So, if at all possible, I would like to get a transcon, because the service is indeed GREAT.
and on the tangent, no, Enthalpy isn't a pal of mine, I'm the information theoretic entropy. Because the attached email address is [mostly] anonymous, there is a lack of information about me, hence the entropy. If I was into thermodynamics, then enthalpy and I would be attached at the hip!
