I think that should be "shtupping his sister in the pilot's briefing room".

Anybody have a lead on specific flight cuts at ORD other than what was in the Trib article?
ROFL!!!

You AA FT'ers are something else. I will try and keep my fingers glued to my face next time.


Ps: Maybe I should have used the word (I'd instead of I will or I'll)

You do what you do with his sister, he'll do what he does with his sister.

Talking give credit where credit is due

Clearly the poster intended 'incesstuous' as a portmanteau of 'incessant' and 'incestuous': i.e. "unending delays due to constant or repeated fooling around with family members".

It was obviously an intentional sniglet. Please don't misunderestimate the quality of FT posts or we will loose focus of the real issues here.

With all these relevations about ORD delays, suddenly DFW seems a lot better.

The number of flights being scrubbed out of DFW/ORD/LGA are very small compared to overall number and will mean less a flight here and there. Not really a big impact at either three of the airports. Possibly, it will mean a longer connection time at a hub.

Analysts are saying that AA will need to cut capacity even more.

Firefox provides a spell checker in input windows on just about every site I access.

Ah, but there are many reasons to use Firefox, this being the least of them. Certainly don't let FT be a reason to use it. Let the Zen of Mozilla and the conquest of the Evil Software Empire be your guide to the wonders of Firefox

(Seriously, though, it really is a topnotch browsing experience.)

Cheers.

I used it once and it crashed my system. I think I blame MS for that because only WE can work on my computer. I have not tried to download the new version since I got a new laptop. I don't want to jinx myself again.

Here's a little info: just received a schedule change notice for an award trip in November. Looked into the changes and it appears that DEN-ORD is going down to 4x daily from 5.

Maybe it is incestuous. Been hearing a lot of banging metal at the end of H and K concourses at night lately.
