Did you hear about the upcoming Aer Lingus partnership? I’m not sure how much wifi there might be under that rock you’ve been hiding under...

I know about the Air Lingus but that is still to come. In the past some of these partnerships have and some have gone.

I am so tired of airplane seats. Home is so nice. I know a lot of you fly even more than I, but I am so ready just to have a weekend home.......to mow the lawn. /end sleep deprived rant.

Home (and mowing lawns) is vastly overrated.

Did the captain greet every passenger at boarding & crack jokes with them?

Ah, because that's exactly what the captain said yesterday on our flight along with a whole stand up comedy routine. He'd ask people with headphones on during boarding if they were listening to Cyndi Lauper or after asking what seat boarding pax were in, would say 'oh, that's my favorite seat. It's like the one in front of it and also the one behind it'. Asked kids if they'd like to sit in the cockpit and so on. Very good face for the Eskimo.

So I may have taken the MostWestCoast slogan to its logical extreme with some upcoming group flights reserved for late Winter. This is gonna be fun!
