Back to Flyertalk!
Wow. Lots of changes here! How cool. Good to see that there are still a bunch of people whose names I still recognize...How's everyone doing?
Anyway, thought I'd drop in and chat a bit. I've been hiding in the world of internet startups where you pretty much have to sell your soul to the company. But now I'm going on vacation! My G/F and I are going to a Contiki tour in Europe on July 14th. Can't wait. The tour company arranged for us to fly Virgin Atlantic from LAX. Never done that. Maybe I can get some feedback from you. I was hoping to use some miles to upgrade with AA or even UA, but I'm starting a brand new mileage account. :-(

Hello Ken! How is everything? Flying a lot lately? E-mail me!
Good to hear from you all.
Tim- the not-so-frequent flyer anymore ... :-)

Glad to see you back here, Tim. 
Sounds like you've got a great vacation planned to make up for all the long hours. I can certainly empathize; my wife is working for an e-commerce start-up & we see each other very little lately

Hello Shadow. I like the fast-paced internet startup environment but the hours really get to you! I can't wait to go on my trip. I've lost all of my "frequent-flyer" credentials so I'll have to start over... :~(
It's ok I guess. I can always see what's going on by listening to you guys.

Hello.
Aaah! The tour company changed my tickets to Northwest (NW32 and NW33)- Both flights stop in Detroit. I'm trying to change that back to Virgin or a non-stop flight!
DC-10 vs. 747
What do you think?
