FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I couldn't take "classic" after 20 minutes, to many slight differences. I switched it to the grey one and I'm warming up to it.

I just wish they would have left well enough alone.

Off to the US terminal to pick-up my parents. Let's see if they've disowned me. :o

I'm on a conference call / presentation with about 75 people and someone just put the call on hold. This of course started their hold music. :rolleyes:

I hate when companies dont have muted lines for cc. I was on one yesterday and you could hear a lady talking to her assistant. The operator had to come on several times and tell people to put their phones on mute.:o

IAH-PHL-SWF, BWI-PIT-IAH
IAH-CLT-GSP-CLT-IAH

I've had the pleasure of US F100's, DH8 non-Q, DC-9, 732, 733, 752, and 319's. There might be another in there that I'm forgetting.

In those days they were serving some pretty decent meals out of IAH to PHL and CLT in Y — almost equivalent to CO's current domestic F meals in size and taste.

That sounds just like how US is now.

Don't do it! I flew US last year on a EWR-CLT-RSW/FLL-PHL itinerary. First was sad and they seem to have taken over the concept of Employee class from UA. :(

You'll probably have some nice bump opportunities.
