That's why I spent all my miles two months ago and dropped from Plat to Kettle. My last series of flights on DL, however, went very smoothly.

I question the statement about Flat LittleMissBrit and the drunken hooligans.;) I had to do a Flat Kenny for my nephew. Dragged him all across New York State and down to the city where we(Flat Kenny & I:D) ran into Conan O'Brien who posed for a picture.

Then, somehow the next night, I either lost Flat Kenny or he ran away.:eek: I was so embarrassed.:o:eek::o Fortunately, I had enough material for a substantial powerpoint show on Kenny's exploits.

I was under the impression that all domestic 752 flying was utilization-related. Most of the new Hawaii routes are on the 737-700/900.

Yeah, you're right, I was just thinking that somewhere other than Philly might be better served (UIO, BOG, etc.)

I'm wondering if it's because they don't want to have to market those destinations as BusinessFirst, since they wouldn't always have BusinessFirst-capable aircraft flying the route.

Prospective wedding DJ (who only one of us will admit is the favored horse thus far) coming over at 1830.

That's certainly worse than the one wedding I was at where the DJ played Crash by Dave Matthews.

"You've got your ball, you've got your chain" -- :D or :rolleyes: depending on your POV.

I, too, lost Flat LittleMissBrit but found her at the 11th hour, as I was getting ready to give the bad news to Brituchenite. Here is my favourite shot:

Most of my hotel stays I find people in the room that I get assigned. It's always embarrassing for the other party since I tend to find them undressed but I get the bigger, better room for the front desk mistake.
