toms toasted peanut butter crackers is what you want? With an option of CHEESE crackers because it is CO afterall.

UA essentially offers that in some of its snack boxes. The Luxe box has the same Rondele cheese spread that's in some PCs, crackers, multi-grain tortilla chips, olives, hummus, breadsticks, and a dark chocolate dipped pretzel. They also offer an entirely organic snack box, as well as one that is more of the traditional salty snacks and cookies variety.

Absolutely.

And sometime after the marriage is announced, the inevitable and drastically necessary labor retooling will result in a very large order of E70s and E90s.

I hope CO will use this as an opportunity to offer a really great BOB product. I have no issue with CO doing this, as long as it actually expands and improves the service.

+1. I did not find UA's options to be that appealing.

The Luxe box sounds good. I know I had something of theirs last year that wasn't too bad if only because I was starving at that point after I hadn't had time to grab something in the terminal.

And for android users, it just took me three attempts to spell out
Luxe instead of it prefilling Luxembourg . :rolleyes:

For folks looking to a hot option I say keep dreaming.

I would just get something in the terminal, like I always do.

Please let me know when you do this. I want to get a ticket and fly with you. We can make brownies :D

Nice. ^

Not quite, LGB - SFO - AUS, but I was more concerned about issues at JFK cascading down the system and one of my segments not having an aircraft or something. Luckily, the same plane does both the LGB - SFO and SFO - AUS legs, so we should be :cool:.

Why would you think this is unusual? This is pretty standard in most industries.

Of course the companies I worked for were kind enough to have patent programs, so we would see a buck or two. But that was just it - a buck or two. They owned the IP. End of story.

What you do is think of the idea and do the job till you are tired of it, then design the product/idea based on your prior experience, not while you are on the clock with them or being paid by them.

This can work in service industry jobs, not so much in hardware/software where patents as a big issue, and IP based upon internal code that was seen, etc.
