Flight status states that the flight is 86% on-time, so I'm not too worried, but I need something to worry about. It helps pass the time at work.
I think you will be fine. If you are worried, hop on one of the electric carts :)

'Xcuse the cart please!

CO knows you are coming in and as long as you don't mess up the slot allocation you'll make the flight and they should not give up your seats.

As far as that flight being buffered, I've noticed that usually you'll push early and make up some time in the air. I'd talk to the agent at BWI about your connection.

Just don't bring her with you on all the trips. That's the way I requalify. :D

Seriously, though, my other half wants to go on the fun trips (e.g. BRU, BZE) but has no desire for a weekend of PHL-IAH-SNA-SFO-LAX-DEN-OKC-DEN-PDX-SFO-SNA-EWR-PHL. I have no idea why not, but that's the way she is about things.

That's the way mine is as well. She has no desire to do MSY-BUR, even though it is in F.

I've got a tough day ahead of me today. A bunch of friends are meeting up at McSoreley's soon for brunch/lunch/mid-afternoon drinks/happy hour. It is going to be a looong day. :p
Joy, I have to go to the make-up session of a training exercise that I missed because I was out with "perspective" last tuesday :( but at least there will be booze with lunch ^

W Seoul Walkerhill looks pretty sweet.
The W was my top choice until I read that the location is not so hot. I'm leaning towards the Park Hyatt Seoul right now. It's in the business district (and therefore not the best for tourists) but the rooms like very cool!

They are crazy like that.

I talked my other half in to joining me on a 1 day EWR-IAH-TUS-EWR run. We left around 5:30am and took the red eye home. She was fine for most of the day in TUS, but by the time we got back to the airport around 10pm, she was struggling. I went to use the restroom and came back and found her sprawled out across some chairs sound asleep. She now understands what I mean when I tell her MRs are actually draining.

Now she rarely complains when I go on a MR (without her) to requalify. :)

The other half just received an e-mail from CO saying her name has been changed on her OP account. That was painless! ^ ^ :cool:

It takes a lot of discipline to start drinking at 06:30am and keep it going until near midnight.
