Greetings from NJ... brrr cold, but far better here than at home - where COFlyerCLE+1 tells me we have a good 12" or so of snow at our house.

Finishing up in SDF today and heading down to FLL but still keeping our coats where we can find them getting off the airplane.

G'morning, Box. Another 3 award seats booked for family & friends. It is easy to look like a genius when LH publishes so much award inventory.

Wanted to thank all of the Box'ers who sent in nice notes about the SMDII charter. It was great enough of an experience finding note after note in my file, fowarded over from corporate - but it was an even bigger treat to checkin for my trip on Saturday and be sent to my supervisor's office. Why? He congratulated me on all the good compliments and awarded me a special service pin to be worn on my uniform, and also 2 fee-waived passes for F/BF. Ms. LukeSkywaiter is appreciative as well, for the latter...

I also gave them options on AC and TP but the AC flight and extra connection adds 3-5 hours travel time in each direction and that eats away at the trip.

Good morning box, just want to say that Alco was spot on with his review of SK Business Class, great for day flight only. Slope recline without a foot rest to hold you up makes you slide.

Morning, Box. The first number on the scale was a 2 this morning. First time I've seen that since about this time in 2002.

LOL! Nope just the UA employees!
Also if you didnt know, the IAH PC North in C has a UA rep in it.
Yes the specials look good. Wonder when we will see specials cross posting?
I fiqured out what is was long before I got my email, still can't find you!
Sounds like good cuddle weather! Think about the positive sides of the snow!
I tried that link (before as well) and it simply points me back at the CO website since the first two segments of the day are on CO.
This is going to be an issue as UA is in a totally separate terminal at BOS and I don't have enough time to make a stop there before the flight. And in IAH the connection is going to be pretty tight. Hopefully the PC will come through in BOS as I'd rather not have the first conversation be in SNA with a UA rep, not to mention that the RCC is closed by the time the CO flight lands.

Long list of CO specials this week (and BNA is twice-blessed). The only international flights I see are to Canuckistan.

I am wondering if we will have a day in Ticket and Gate training dedicated to how to work with elites?

It's so wonderful to have a critical issue with your client and to have all internal support staff be completely silent on the issue.

I dropped back to a "1" as the first number two days ago but it's Adderall (amphetamine), not eating (due to the first), and playing five games of racquetball a day in singles because only one opponent has been showing up.
