I was already souless, but not a whore! :p

I have just about given up on that thread. I think I have just over 1,000 posts there in about 2-3 days time.

I wonder how Randy is going to pick a winner. I hope he just picks a randon number and then goes to that post to see who the poster is.

The top whores have close to 10% chance each of winning plane tickets! Unbelievable.

CO most likely have transcon in mind when they order that configurations - more FC, more bathrooms. But that role has been taken over by the new 739ERs. They definitely should be converted.

OTOH, they are easier to get upgraded on! :D

National actually honored my free rental car reservation at OKC last night. ^^ :cool:

We basically used it as a free taxi service, went downtown, grabbed dinner and returned it 3 hours later. Top notch.

Glad I don't get that. Otherwise I might be spending some money on it.

Yep. Pretty much. Same packaging as what you seen in the PC, one- and two-cookies per pack in a variety of boxes, cans, and containers.

Thankfully I kept my primary choice for FLL in December, because mine got refared up to something like $160. Are you guys going to write letters to UA or were the goodies delivered to you at the time of your encounter with Theodore?

Some of you may remember that I got a nice stay at the Westin TS for 7/4 weekend. I've finally posted a few pics from the room:

And another not too horrible one.

What he didn't say is what he asked me before taking those: "Mike, how long do you think before I get arrested?" I have some good context shots that I'll post later.

Said shots are in the planespotting thread. Finally got them up just now.

We each got two CR-1s out of the deal, one for each direction since we flew the same plane in and out of OKC. We had to push a bit for it in OKC this morning; the woman insisted that we were on Y fares that just happened to be upgraded. I give full credit to fozz for spouting off the appropriate terms and pushing the issue so that the guy helping us issued them anyways. Now we're in PDX and had the agent here issue the certs for last night's flight. She had some syntax troubles with depositing them directly into our accounts instead of printing paper vouchers, but we managed to get past that. fozz was actually about 1 seconds away from loading up FT at the counter to get the exact codes from the UA forum when she finally figured it out. Overall a relatively painless process.

ConciergeMike Nov 9, 2008 12:39 pm

So you got goodies and miles out of the trip - well done, sir.

fozz Nov 9, 2008 12:55 pm

As J Edward likes to say, the crack-whore(United) just keeps on delivering the goods.

The Q200 is truly a lawnmower with wings. Talk about vibration! The interior was incredibly worn as well.

Oh well... I can cross it off the list now. :)
