I have personally never tried this (seriously).

I'd be willing to try as I have backup plans anyway ;)

Good Morning Box.

So I have some good news to share with you all... the promotion came through (in writing), which brought with it a substantial raise :) And,in the same letter, I got the figure for the 2009 bonus - I was stunned at the amount (more than double what I was told it would be). All-in-all, a pretty good week in that regards. :)

And it looks like I'll be traveling to NJ at least for the next four weeks, so hopefully once I get into a groove, I'll see if we can arrange for drinks somewhere.

Happy Friday! :-:

I am working nights all next week, and am off Wed/Thu. ^^ Fiancee is out of town; I could come up for something.

I'd be surprised if NJ actually lost population. I remember reading a projection last year our population would cross the nine million mark in the 2010 Census, which would be an increase of nearly 600k, even taking into account the current economic situation.

I don't think there will be a net loss, much as I would like there to be...but a very below-average growth rate would be nice. Census figures come out and everything stays the same because when all the math is done, New Jersey only gained 12 people, all in one neighborhood. :D

I wonder about the cost for that DO.

End of next month is supposedly the release timeframe for info. I think the CB thread says 4/23, could be wrong.

CO moved the deliveries solely to create more "Will I have lie-flat?" posts. The guys in Fleet Planning read that thread and laugh hysterically.

Good Day, Box.

The new BF seats aren't made my Koito. Are the Y seats made by Koito? That could definitely hold up deliveries.

Next week I'll only be in NJ Mon-Wed, but after that will likely settle into a Mon-Thurs routine.

I'm not letting work get in the way of spring training baseball - which is where I'm headed on Thursday :cool:

It's probably easier for you to fly to Albuquerque.

EUA is broken I tell ya!

You've been upgraded from Houston, TX (IAH - Intercontinental) to Fort Lauderdale, FL (FLL) on Wed., Mar. 24, 2010. The plane was packed even in the elite section of Y, I am glad to get outta there!

I am still waiting for LGA-IAH and IAH-LGA. I am not worried about the morning LGA flight to IAH, I have never missed that. I may miss the IAH-LGA EUA. It's a 73G
