Glad to be of some service.

Funny thing is I went from a market that used to be BlowFare (tm) haven (PIT) to having to drive around the Carolinas to places like GSO, GSP, and RDU to avoid BlowFare (tm) infested markets like AVL and CLT. Or driving down to CAK (or even PIT

)to avoid the similar BlowFare (tm) fate typically found in CLE.

Kudos to jimcfsus. for the research. The BlowFare (tm) moniker has been a part of the forum lexicon since I had some divine inspiration (which I admit is in poor taste): find an old picture of "Seth" (the guy from US who ran around with the assinine green/yellow hair as the "GoFare Guy") and take a good look at him. Once you do, it's not a stretch to get to BlowFare (tm). That it aptly describes the fares themselves is somewhat of a happy coincidence.
