Totally idiotic question...
Trying to figure out the itinerary for the RNO trip (May 21-23) - booking on UA, with two codeshare legs (LGA-IAH-SFO) operated by CO. What's the upgrade protocol for those latter two segments? I understand that you can be upgraded at the gate...but not before? |
Bugger I'm not sober.

Why would they bother? US is getting rid of all of its 737s, and WN can just wait for US to shrink further rather than spend the money to acquire US's toxic labor relations.

If anything, WN will buy assets from US. I think US is the next TW.

Apart from slots at DCA, what assets does US have that WN would want?

CLT and possibly international. WN has been mumbling it wants to get into the international biz and taking over the US Caribbean network would be a great start.

I could actually see WN doing really well in the Caribbean.

Ran out of beer so I've progressed to Woodford. Not the Masters Collection - that's special event stuff ;)

That is in essence a $20+ tip. Bravo.

My understanding is that you will go through the normal EUA process for the CO-operated flights.

This is what I had in mind. WN learned how to put together a bid in this environment by going after F9. They will be first in line to pick the carcass is all I was trying to say.
:confused: I don't see giving coupons as a tip at all as useful. |

Cool - one of my colleagues back in the day used to handle some of the FAA applications.
They wanted a large battery backup installation done, and maintenance, I was a certified reseller at the time, but I did NOT have the maintenance agreements and teams needed for that in place. However, even dealing with them on the phone for a reference, I could tell the paperwork involved would have chased me personally away anyway, at that time. |

I don't know how she does it. She has a patient who is terminal right now. A 16 year old w/ a tumor growing in her throat and head. The patient and her mom keep asking if there's some way they can end her life, as she is in constant pain and living in a hospice. My wife comes home and wishes we were in Washington or Oregon. I feel her stress when she comes home.
This breaks my heart on many levels. (1) that your wife has to endure such stress and tragedy in her job (2) that the mother has to watch her child suffer (3) that the girl has such a wicked disease, and is being robbed of life (4) that the young girl is in pain and both her and her mother just want her life to end. It is so heartbreaking. I cannot imagine the grief and anguish tht mother must be feeling.

Had an interesting evening at the dog park tonight...
An 8-month old Jack Russell was playing with these two poodle-mixes when one of the poodles decided it didn't want to play anymore. It got mad at the Jack and bit at him, so the Jack bit back. The guy who owned the other poodle got in the middle and kicked the Jack to break it up. It wasn't a hard kick but a little unorthodox. A half hour later and the Jack is playing with the guy's other dog, a Catahoula Leopard (full grown). They are full out running around the Catahoula lays down and the Jack kind of nibbles on its ear trying to get it to play. No harm done. The ...... of an owner comes over and full out football kicks the Jack. We're talking four feet of air. The Jack's owner runs over and while she's getting over there the other owner picks up the Catahoula and is getting ready to leave. The Jack thinks the other dog is still playing (one rule at a dog park is to not pick up dogs) and so it jumps up, the guy kicks it again! The woman screams "please don't kick my dog!" to which the guy replies, "it's vicious!". He then proceeds to kick the Jack one more time for good measure. He gets in the woman's face about how terrible her dog is and then threatens her and storms off. I got his plates and car type. I'll let the constable at work look him up... People sicken me sometimes.

No I didn't. I was simply commenting on CM's assertion that it was a $20+ tip when it really isn't. That's like me saying that adding a MegaMillions ticket to every tip means I tip millions of dollars each time.
Then again, if you tip the coupon + $3 instead of $5 I'd say you're shortchanging the recipient. now if you pay for a coupon and it has a direct value in rarity, it could be worth something, but it is only worth something if they utilize it, and just passing it off to a random valet without knowing the value to them, it should be considered basically worthless. However if given in addition to what would have been given, and they can get use out of it, fine. ^ For me, a $10 gift card to Nieman Marcus is not even desirable or worth anything, even if to someone else it may be wroth $10 as they intend to go spend $100 :D |
