Well done, job fairy!
I've never been to MSN (or anywhere in WI) but I've heard that it's a cool place to live. Performing arts, outdoor recreation, safe, interesting, vibrant local scene...and you've already developed the snow antibody, so you should be good to go.
Of COURSE I'm working tonight...

Are there any pictures of that setup yet? It sounds like such a waste of space...

I have two expense reimbursements and the tax return to get my credit cards paid by 5 March without touching the emergency fund. I've gone to a rolling credit card usage system where I now use the one of three that closes (and thus has full payment due) the furthest ahead. Increased my retirement contributions last week due to the 2% less withheld for FICA this year ...

Last night I had to deliver a test for the significant 
v to pass before she could be granted my status.
I was impressed with how much she actually knew, some highlights:
Q:What do you get at 100K miles?
A:"Systemwide something"
Q:What does UA call 100K status
A:"1K but it is a dumb name since 1K is only a thousand"
Q: What is the UA logo?
A:"A Tulip, even though it doesn't look like one"
Q:What is top tier on LH?
A:"IDK HON Something, but I know they wait for you with a sign"

Not that I know of, Im not sure why they did not just put the new F seats from 380 on the 744. They could have probably done a 1 - 2 config or some staggered LH configuration. The other option would have been move F to the nose.

In the news front for me, the job that I interviewed for last week is officially mine. So, the family and I will be relocating to the MSN area in the next couple of months. :-:
It means only a little bit of work travel (maybe a handful of times a year), which will be a nice change for me. Cheaper cost of living means my wife will be able to stay at home with the girls like she wants, which will also be nice.

The word is that the window seats will be blocked for all 744s, so you may be on an old config with an empty seat next to you, not actually in the new seats.
