Wow, CO has *five* LHR-EWR flights in late December.

Well, after I just spent $900 to change next week's ticket to accommodate the client's :rolleyes: requirements... They asked us to cancel everything for next week and not come in next week so they could re-align themselves :rolleyes:

Whatever. It gives me an unexpected week at home, and a chance to sleep in the new bed we got. But it will be the first week I haven't flown in months... so maybe we can find a cheap flight to Vegas... ;)

Hello Box.

Was working away on my flightmemory project and was interruped by an email from my son in college:

Don't yell mom - Help! I let someone dye my hair (white) and after 2.5 hours with dye on my head followed by peroxide I have piss yellow hair and I can see my scalp.

Nothing like instant male pattern baldness.

:eek:

Yup. They are going to 4 soon and 5 around October IIRC.

Is that it?

It's one of my favorites, mostly because of the folks working there. It's not fancy, but they do have low fat kettle chips (if they're not out, ask nicely and hopefully they will materialize).

Houston Box people, anyone want to do a Micro Do next Thursday? I'll be in town and so far have no plans.

I'll be in MCO :(

I'll let Plus1 know; I'm sure he'd be up for it.

The 41 year-old Swede, who was at the helm of a jet bound for Ankara, had been flying for 13 years and logged more than 10,000 flight hours using forged documents for airlines in Belgium, Britain and Italy, authorities said.

He passed several checkrides with flying colors and was type rated in the aircraft as well, no real risk to anyone.

Pics of this would be perfect for the Box non-family-friendly adventure photo album :eek:

Well I'm really taxing my memory to enter my 2001 data. It's really tough when you are going on a cruise and they buy the tickets so my CC documentation isn't complete. I know I went from either EWR or SWF and through CVG to MSY. I remember it was at the time one of subsidiary airlines that used CVG was on strike but I'm pretty sure I was on Delta. If anyone knows that Continental didn't use CVG in 2001 I'm pretty sure it was the SWF departure.

... I should start a thread. :rolleyes:

BL JR loved the luggage labels. She promptly filled one out for herself and one for Plus1 (I guess I don't count). I took her drink coupons.

Proof-positive that WE CARE works (sometimes)
 
So today at the DFW PC, one of the agents came looking for me and thanked me for taking time to send a letter to CO calling out their great service. I was surprised that the kudos got to them with my name on it, but I'm glad to see the system does work.

(The box of Vosges I left them probably didn't hurt either) :cool:
