AH... I seriously thought the guy was going to turn me down. I think he took pitty on me and didnt want to see an unemployed guy lose his $100 fee. My movement in the last 15 years was iffy too to him as I have been a student.

Ms. GadFly wants to make plans to see Alice in Wonderland so I headed over to Fandango to see when it opens. It's listed as "Rated PG" for the following reasons:

fantasy action violence, scary images, a smoking caterpillar and scary situations

My kind of movie! :p

Five interactions with three different functionaries of the mindless bureaucracy over the course of 45 minutes and $24USD later, the People's Demokratik Republik of Nueva Joisey has decreed me to not be a menace to the roads for another four years.

I saw an enforcement of a stereotype in the DMV office that even I am afraid to relate the story of...it was so typical and so bad that the dark humor of the stereotype was sad instead of funny.

I don't know whether to try and appeal or not. not even sure is possible
I know I had the DWI but the record they pulled shows a FTA as well-that one I do not know about. I'm guessing the driving one is enough.
Wonder if I get my 100 back

I saw CO flight crew at the HR Waikiki when I was there a couple weeks ago.

Not sure if anyone else saw the tweet from CO about EWR-MUC but it looks like a pretty good deal.

I will post more at the other place.

Is Not POssible!! The agent said that having a job was a requirement. Hmmm, read the manual and see nothing of that in writing. I would go back and complain but as he said "we have the right to revoke this privilage at any time!" He was surprised I hadnt been sent in for secondary screening in the US before.

Don't worry; I'm sure they have you on a list, now. :-:

If you're paying the numbers they are advertising you're paying too much. I'm seeing $430ish r/t in April. I really don't like the early departure of the CO flight. I'm looking to see if I can get a mix & match on LH to work, though going 50% EQMs on that segment probably isn't worth it.

True, have you had any hassles with all your travels?

I still think that the main reason I got through is I was a blundering idiot after getting 2 hours of sleep after my MEX-PTY-JFK flight and 3 hour drive to ALB! I think he looked at me and said, "..., this guy could never keep a straight story if he tried!"

I will test the system at 1:30 am next Monday and report back!

Did you ever get Global Entry ALCO?

I get selected for secondary abroad often but not by U.S. authorities (surprising given the awful passport photo).
