I have something to brag about ... (and remember that I'm only a Green member!)

Maybe it's just my luck, or it's because I've spent so many hours listening to "I can fly ... I can fly ..." over the past few months. My last 2 calls to MPC have been answered within 5 minutes !

Called Tuesday at 1.30am (HK time). Was expecting a 30-40 minute wait. Got answered around 3-4 minutes later. That's the speed of light as far as my experience goes.

Called Tuesday at 2pm (HK time). Got answered right away. I was very shocked (and my mouth was full of food). I even blurted out "wah, it's never been this quick". (I choose the Cantonese one all the time). Having said that, I kept redialling from 1.30 - 2pm, either got an engaged tone or "please leave a message after the beep" or "sorry, mailbox is full". So imagine my surprise when it was answered at 2pm ... without having to hear "I can fly..." !

I hope my lucky streak continues. I've still got a few flights to add to my April 09 Oneworld RTW award - and the flights don't get released by AA until later this week.
