That was the only thing that made EWR departures somewhat tolerable. On my last pass through that (I hesitate to call it a dump, as I don't want to insult dumps), the AC was still closed - just open as a service center, and memories of unpleasantness were refreshed just like instant coffee, watered by the sinks in the porta potties.

So Skywest is going to operate 747-8 aircraft on behalf of AS? 
YouTube decided that this was a clip I might want to watch… wonder if it was made by a FTer.

Ugh I swear SFO is trying to screw over AS
Last week I was on a BOS-SFO return - we got back a bit early and we had to wait on the taxiway because — of all things, a United flight is using our gate and is still boarding
Right now I’m about to depart SFO-JFK and a Delta plane is parked beside us, at gate D12
Just wanna vent. Kinda annoyed “other” airlines are invading “our” terminal

I am waiting for another cheap round-trip fare to SFO. I have a friend who is moving and my checked luggage allowance would be beneficial to him. Essentially he might pay for my next MR, so here's hoping.

Doing a SAN-JFK-SAN same day turn. Outbound arrived so earlier that I was able to sneak into the BA F lounge. My AS boarding pass didn’t scan at the desk so it took a little bit of fiddling and manual entry but it worked. Not bad for a sub-$200 mileage run.

Does OW Emerald status give access to the BA F lounge at JFK on an AS domestic flight?

edit: see below. Maybe she was too nice to say no or the rules aren’t updated for AS yet.
