Given the secondary I just received yesterday from US Border, I think in my unemployed case they think I'm up to other income-generating activities...

DrunkCargo
Did you tell/show them that you were actually generating income for AIR CANADA?

And meanwhile, all the real up-to-no-goods are NOT FLYING, but being more creative about how they move themselves around. Or, being in the NEXUS/GE line, but they need to inspect my half-used tube of toothpaste.

Cow's Boarding Passes
Outstanding photo in your trip report.

I'd carry a 9x13 glossy of that everywhere, especially when I fly.

Anyone have any idea how the scores are being updated?

"Since your last login, you've earned 1200 Wings and 0 badges."

That certainly isn't one whole day of flying

It's weird... we should have 17 scenic and 10 prairie, or 16 scenic and 9 prairie... But we have 17 and 9 respectively, which cannot exist if the order of flights matches the order in which we took them.

Also your accelerators are posting, mine are not. I wonder who I should contact at EYW for this...

Today, I met Ben Smith. Fun. 787 Dreamliner event in YVR this morning, family day this afternoon...

Yeah I don't know how their algorithm works

I'd probably just tweet them and see what they say.

Mario (FA at event): This is Eric, he was a passenger on my flight yesterday on this same fin. (I flew YYZ-YVR AC149, 4G, on its repositioning flight for the dreamliner event) He folds these cranes that are really good...

Ben (shaking hands): Nice to meet you. Enjoy the show!
Me: Thanks, I will!

Should there have been more?

I thought it was weekly last year, and turned into bi-weekly near the end?

I didn't mean "how often", I meant "how"

I'm seeing very strange results (like it jumping up 1200 wings at a random time, and then 20,000 a few hours later).

Congrats Mr. CanadianCow on being #1.

PS My wife is still in shock. She sends her congrats to both of you!

Thanks. I expect this to be short lived though. Mr. Cargo booked "late" on September 30th, the last day for the Accelerator badge, and they aren't showing up for him.

Probably some timezone issue or something, but he should be ahead of me.

Also, this only includes flights up to the end of the 15th, so there's one more day left. I need my Mileage Run badge

I think I have two on the way... and for both Cow and myself it'll be the icing on the list, should show up leftmost on the most recently earned list.

Strangely, I miss sitting in 1D... those cupholders... Oh well, off to Cheltenham, UK tomorrow... Anyone know of anything interesting in that town?
