We're packing up the front wheel drive sleigh and heading to Point Pleasant (the city of my birth - ironic, isn't it?) to meet with a photographer. Living out by Philly now but getting married in the general area of the Shore really makes me feel like we are planning a destination wedding...just without the benefit of EQM's.

WWTBD?

Three flight options:
One is $130 and earns no miles but gets two new lines.
One is $200 and earns ~1300 EQMs and gets one new line.
One is $200 and earns no miles but gets two new lines and a new airline.

Always take the earning option unless you are in a position to forgo same, no?

Option #1 or 2, unless you can trade FM/OF lines for points/miles/cash. Depends on how badly you need the EQMs.

Really depends on the lines and the new carrier, IMO. With the information at hand I'd go with the $130 option. :-:

I think you would have plat in the bag or close to it, so I would take the what's behind curtain number one please.

At what cost? Paying $70 extra for 1200 EQMs is pretty pricey. And I doubt those 1200 are going to make the difference between SWUs or not. If they are I can likely spend less to get them later on.

What if I fill in some more details?
Option 1 is WN LGA-MDW-MSP
Option 2 is UA LGA-ORD-MSP
Option 3 is YX LGA-MKE-MSP

Design of experiments, etc. Process improvement tools, basically.

I took an introductory course about that that at work, and I still didn't know WT F it was after it. :rolleyes:

I like examples to help me learn, this training had no examples to illustrate WT F they were talking about. :rolleyes:

The traffic on my street is driving me nuts. I live on what is normally a nice quite street, just a few blocks from the highway, but today the Passaic River has flooded part of the roadway and everyone is driving up my block. It is like Manhattan on my block. :mad:

FWIW, there was just an article in the paper here saying that Midway was one of the worst airports for on-time operations recently.
