The Snowicane winds are really starting to pick up now.

In better news, the bottle of Cava is now in the recycling bin. ^

My frequent upgrades are just part of what keeps me flying CO so regularly, and also part of why I've always had mixed feelings about CO doing something like E+. I think I still can count the number of times I've flown CO in Y in a non-exit/bulkhead row in the last five years on both hands (yeah, pretty sure out of those hundreds of flights it's less than 10), so I'm pretty happy with the status quo. But I know that I'm lucky and a lot of it is related to the routes I fly. I also have figured out on my regular routes which flights are easy upgrades and book my schedule so that I'm on those flights, not others that are more elite-heavy.

Hi, Box.

Congrats to the many milestones this evening!

G'night, Box. Talk to y'all again from the train on the way to EWR in the morning. The aircraft made it back to EWR in plenty of time and NJTransit is still running as of now. Fingers crossed in my sleep....

I am a veritable newcomer here, but this is a group of folks from around the country who loves travel, drinking, discussions about curling, poo, and other current event-type discussion. This is a free-form place where anything goes.

Sigh, what have I missed?

Welcome, BTW.

Wow, the post above was my 3,500th post in FT. I kinda am liking that... :cool:

Sounds like that feeling I had about the 772 between BWI and EWR was correct. CO messed up and incorrectly loaded the ferry as a revenue flight. :-:
