I just received a call that there is a water-main break at the location and it must be rescheduled.

:rolleyes:.indeed.

That blows. I've never had anything related to getting a new job happen quickly. Or even on time.

So anything of note that I've missed besides the selling of exit rows, removal of food and the usual complaints about EWR? I'm connecting through IAH so hopefully I'll skip the EWR madness both ways this time.

You pretty much nailed it.
Good for you going through IAH.

Recently, the discussions on CO forum relate to so-called "direct flights" (see upthread), upgrades, how much baggage allowance, lounge access for star alliance flights, etc.....
Of course the points you have noted as well.

It would be funny if it wasn't so :rolleyes:

Kind of like the CO agent that confused "Venice" for "Vienna" on my itinerary. :rolleyes:

Times like this, our arcane knowledge of IATA airport codes is quite handy. :-:

My own mother almost sent us to the wrong city. Same as belynch: SJO instead of SJC.

:mad: Why the hell are fares HOU/IAH-FLL at $300 and up? It's off season in south Florida!:mad: I'm going to have to wait it out. Sucks to be unemployed and having to travel.

Earlier this month, I checked in at BNA for the SMF run departing from MEM (I had flown into BNA, wanted to save some time the next morning). I was mocked for speaking in terms of IATA codes but I assumed few people in my region would put up with an ER4 long enough on the first segment to fly BNA-IAH-SMF or BNA-EWR-SMF.

Hmm - if I crank up my mortgage payment to $1,000 a month I would pay off the home after 8 years of a 15-year mortgage. Not paying enough interest to itemize on my taxes ...
