Strangling is too generous. I say pull all the support permanently and film her attempting to learn how to live life. That would get ratings.

I sometimes price out tickets for family, but they usually tell me they're carrying-on.

I just compared a couple of tickets I need to get and even with bag fees CO is cheaper by $100.

Your point about WN and the 737s on routes that only have RJs on other carriers is a good one. My issue with it is an example such as IAH-LBB. On CO it is non-stop. On WN I either have to change planes in DAL or stop in AUS. The trip ends up taking about twice as long as on CO, so the question is, is a two hour flight on an RJ more bearable than a 3.5-4 trip on a 737?

I am trying to figure out why I just wasted EVDO bandwidth watching the first 3 min of that program.

I'd always take the direct RJ.

LCC doesnt equal LFC!! this is the problem with the consumer. They listen to the adds and don't think!!

Yes I think you idea of broading the scope of the Calendar is good.

I thought you could be surrounded by toilet paper holding boxes of Shipley Donuts and Dunkin Donuts would be fun.

We already are planning on using Roxy, jrzyshawn's dog and Mackieman plus another two people for a theme of service dogs on a plane and people of size.

interesting!! i may just come for the entertainment!! :)

Nice to meet you as well!! Hope the chocolates were well received! How late did your flight end up leaving?

My flight only left about 25 minutes late, and arrived into LGA about 30 minutes early, so I am glad I did not try to change. Great flight, lots of empty middles. I forgot how nice 14A on a 73G can be with an empty middle. ^

The chocolates were a big hit and they should be at $35. :rolleyes: but the MR on Tuesday is a surprise :-:
