Anyone know what kind of staff cuts CO made today? I'll guess from their tweet that it's the reservation agents.

Yes, 600 from reservations. :(

I wonder if any of these agents were also connected to WE-CARE...

Staff will be cut in April and they will be offering early outs (quit and get flight benefits for x number of years, can slide into retirement) and then I guess they start cutting from the less senior agent til they get the numbers they want.

Bobsled finals sound like an awesome event to be at in person. That and luge would be at the top of my list for Winter Olympics, other than hockey.

BL JR asked me if I had ever had a stroke. I said no and asked her why. She said Mr. Magorium had one when he was really old so wondered if I had too. I asked her if she thought I was as old as Mr. Magorium. She shrugged and did an embarrassed giggle. :rolleyes::mad::rolleyes::eek:

Not teh Sheraton. I've never seen such ridonculous rates for an airport property. The Sheraton LGA is often a Starpicks rate for $109/night, and is a decent option if you are arriving late/leaving early (when there's little to no traffic on the Van Wyck).

I'm so effing sick of the prices from CLL being so high :mad: I need to go visit mom in Springfield MA, and it's $513+ for the airfare. I get so tired of driving the 2 hours to AUS every time I need to fly. Same route out of AUS is currently $298+, although I've seen it around $200 from time to time.

Why oh why does it have to be a friggin' arm and a leg to fly out of here????
