Saeng-il Chukha-hamnida, Plus1!

(Learned that from the S.O. a few weeks ago, hope I remembered it correctly!)

The idea was tossed around for CO a while back. ;)

:rolleyes:

No doubt they think you are a sweet ray of sunshine. :-: ;)

I could make something like that pretty easily. And it would be fun to write.

I already have a framework. I just don't have the huevos to scrape CO.com ;)

I wonder if sbm12 would be keen on sharing his system for doing that.

Mackieman Apr 13, 2010 9:00 am

And euatracker.com is available. :-:

It's not about the system, it's about pissing off the wrong people.

Good morning Box.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. It would also take quite disk storage space to capture enough data to trend over time. And yeah, CO might not particularly enjoy having the PDA site queried for every flight multiple times during the EUA process. I'd hate to make the PDA site go away. I was also thinking about a system where people could report their results, but I think that is probably far less useful.

If hosted anonymously on Rolle Yes' servers in Tajikistan (Kyrgyz operations are suffering some minor complications at the moment), this might minimize difficulties.

I remember. It never took off other than a Google Doc version. I'm not saying that I don't like the idea. I don't like that they use it.

You don't wish failure upon ideas or people (or a combination of either) you consider objectionable?

I care more about what my mailman's cat thinks of me than what those :rolleyes: have to say.

Apparently AA 49 had to stop at REK due to fumes in the cabin. Reportedly it only had 133 pax and 12 crew on the 763. Seems like a light load.

...provided that there were tax advantages and you were going to spend that money on gas anyway.

What's disturbing about that? :confused:

Seems like it could be a valuable tool for UA elites picking flights and hoping for upgrades.

Their database needs to be bigger for that to be useful.

I am still accruing my UA flights to my MP account and am soon to be 0 for 3. I can't believe that the combination of paid F and 1Ks or higher flying Tuesday PHL-ORD is greater than 20, but apparently it is. On the other hand, E+ is wide open on my flight today.
